A Navy SEAL who took part in the mission to kill Osama Bin Laden says he was outraged over the U.S. Navy using a drag queen for a discarded recruitment program.
Robert J. O'Neill, a decorated combat veteran who served for eight years as a member of SEAL Team Six, said on Twitter he 'can't believe [he] fought for this bulls**t.'
'Alright. The U.S. Navy is now using an enlisted sailor Drag Queen as a recruiter,' he wrote. 'I'm done. China is going to destroy us.'
After O'Neill sent out his tweet Wednesday afternoon, others chimed in to share in O'Neill's outrage over the ambassadorship.
His tweet quickly gained 1.1 million views and thousands of likes and retweets.
'As a Navy veteran, I am ashamed on behalf of the US Navy. I hope that goes over as well as Bud Light did,' one person responded.
'This is beyond disturbing. I’m a former military officer and I just can’t believe what our brass is doing,' another added.
'An insult to every veteran and their families. My dad just rolled over in his grave at Arlington. I'm so glad he didn't have to see this happen,' a woman wrote.

So he was okay with the u.s. funding and acting in unneeded wars that kills thousands of women and children. But a drag queen taking the role of digital navy ambassador is where he draws the line?
Give me a break..

It's like the brass at the Pentagon are saying "Well, we did this...and this...and this.. recruitment is at an all time low, our enemies are practically laughing in our face and our Vets are ashamed to even admit they are Vets......let's do it some more."
