[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - Navy SEAL Robert O'Neill who took part in the mission to kill Osama Bin Laden is outraged over the U.S. Navy using a drag queen for a recruitment program
- 'I can't believe I fought for this bulls**t,' O'Neill tweeted on Wednesday
- The vet was referencing the Navy's use of Yeoman 2nd Class Joshua Kelley, a drag queen who announced in November an ambassadorship with the Navy
Kelley was tasked with highlighting her journey from performing on board beginning in 2018 and growing to become an 'advocate' for those who 'were oppressed for years in the service.'
A Navy spokesman told DailyMail.com the digital ambassador program was a pilot that ended in March 2023.
The program Kelley was part of ran from October 2022 to March 2023 and was designed to 'explore the digital environment to reach a wide range of potential candidates' for military recruitment.
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.
