Decorated Navy SEAL veteran that was part of the mission that killed Osama bin Laden spoke out against the Navy’s new drag-queen recruitment campaign. He said, “I can’t believe I fought for this bulls–t.”
Former US Navy SEAL Team Six member, Robert J. O’Neill, tweeted on Wednesday and shared his disappointment with the Navy’s hiring of an active drag queen to help recruit “the most talented and diverse workforce” for the Navy.
“Alright. The US Navy is now using an enlisted sailor Drag Queen as a recruiter. I’m done. China is going to destroy us. YOU GOT THIS NAVY. I can’t believe I fought for this bulls-t,” O’Neill wrote to his 590,500 followers.
O’Neill’s tweets were directed at Yeoman 2nd Class Joshua Kelley, the first of five new “digital ambassadors” for a new program the Navy piloted from October to March.
Kelley identifies as non-binary and goes by the stage name Harpy Daniels. He shares his journey of being non-binary, a drag queen, and with the Navy on his Instagram and TikTok accounts.
“Thank you to the Navy for giving me this opportunity! I don’t speak for the Navy but simplyshareg my experience in the Navy! Hooyah, and let’s go Slay!” Daniels said in a post.
The New York Post reported:
Kelley was an ambassador of a program “designed to explore the digital environment to reach a wide range of potential candidates” as the Navy battles “the most challenging recruiting environment it has faced since the start of the all-volunteer force,” a Navy spokesperson told Fox News.
O’Neill, who was self-credited with delivering the fatal blow to bin Laden during the May 2, 2011 raid in Abbottabad, Pakistan, has published two books since leaving the military in 2014.
O’Neill’s comments were met with a mixture of reactions, some siding with the Silver Star recipient while others labeled him a hypocrite.
“This is beyond disturbing. I’m a former military officer and I just can’t believe what our brass is doing,” one former military officer said.
“Not this Navy veteran. I’m ashamed of the Navy,” wrote another veteran. “It’s an insult to every veteran. The army kept making me go to trans EO-type classes before I retired. Nope. Didn’t go.”
“As a Navy veteran, I am ashamed on behalf of the US Navy. I hope that goes over as well as Bud Light did,” a reference to the beer company’s ad controversy over partnering with influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
Some people did comment and say that this move was good for the Navy.
“Honor, Courage & Commitment… I stand with the US Navy and their choice. Bravo Zulu,” another person wrote.
“We have an epidemic of gun violence in this country. Thousands of innocent victims. Yet, this bothers you? Grow up,” said another user.
“Local man angry he fought for freedom of expression,” a third comment said.
In similar news, since Bud Light launched its campaign with Dylan Mulvaney, its revenue has dropped a total of 21%. People were confused and furious that they would choose Mulvaney to represent the beer brand.
This perversion and sickness must be stopped by whatever means necessary!!!!
