Hero of the hunt for Bin Laden criticises the US Navy over a drag queen

Robert O’Neill, a former US Navy SEAL credited with taking out al-Qaeda mastermind Osama bin Laden, has joined a chorus of veterans expressing disgust at the Pentagon’s selection of Yeoman 2nd Class Joshua Kelley as one of the Pentagon’s inaugural class of “Digital Ambassadors.” Kelley, who identifies as non-binary, performs for service members in full makeup, women’s dress and a bouffant blonde wig. O’Neill was far from the only veteran to publicly call out the Pentagon’s platforming of Kelley, who identifies as non-binary and performs for service members in full makeup, women’s dress and a bouffant blonde wig. Other veterans have also called out the Pentagon’s platforming of Kelley, including US Army veteran Graham Allen, Mike Marugg, and Johnny Fuzeball. Matthew Lohmeier, who was relieved of his command in 2021, criticized the military's embrace of critical race theory as "Marxist" and "un-American". Kelly took to Instagram to post a "rebuddle" declaring the sailor "DGAF" while flouncing and twirling in and out of drag. He accused detractors of only wanting to support the military when it benefits them and doesn't involve queer people.
