Oh really? By whom? He presented himself on his own to capitalize on his achievement and was in fact criticized by his fellow seals.
O'Neill's statements resulted in criticism by fellow Navy SEALs. Rear Admiral Brian Losey and Force Master Chief Michael Magaraci issued a public statement,
A critical tenant [sic] of our ethos is "I do not advertise the nature of my work, nor seek recognition for my actions."[15]
Years ago he WOULD have been given a pass and allowed to sleep it off. Unfortunately, too many drunks have killed too many people on the highways and thus local LEO's have no choice but to arrest and ticket individuals such as Rob O'Neill...
Like it or not, it is what it is.........
“Oh really? By whom? He presented himself on his own to capitalize on his achievement and was in fact criticized by his fellow seals.”
O’Neill told the Post he decided to publicize his role after becoming certain that his identity would soon be leaked. Formerly a tightly held secret, the information became widely known in military circles and among members of Congress and at least two press organizations, he said.
I choose not to call him a liar. He says he was told that it was leaked and wanted to tell his accurate story.
