Navy SEAL Who Killed Bin Laden Tells Buttigieg: ‘Stop Playing War Hero’ February 13, 2020 By Tristan Justice
The former Navy SEAL responsible for killing al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden offered some harsh advice for Democrat presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg, who often touts his five months in Afghanistan on the presidential campaign trail.
“My advice for Pete Buttigieg… Stop playing war hero. You’re gonna get called out,” wrote Robert O’Neill on Twitter.

OOOH!........THAT’s GONNA LEAVE A MARK!...................
Sneaky Pete
Maybe some of Pete’s former military unit can come forward a la Swift Boats in ‘04..
I doubt they want to even be seen with him................
Mayor Pete, yet another Ivy League homosexual glow in the dark? Seems to check a lot of the boxes.
Pete= remf
That picture stabbed me in the heart, I wish that hero all the best for the rest of his life.
I feel so sad he had to make such a sacrifice for all of us.
Buttpirate was not JAG.He was a reservist with no special skills. How did this nobody ever get a direct commission as an officer.In my day it was unheard of , unless one was a lawyer or physician, to get a direct commission as an officer. And even then, there were certain limits, that some minimal officer training was required. Perhaps he sold himself as a Navaho codetalker.
Buttercup’s time is up.
Pete Buttigieg hits Trump on soldiers’ pardons
AW1Ed | November 17, 2019
Well this didn’t take long.
Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg on Saturday tore into President Donald Trump for pardoning two Army officers who were accused or found guilty of war crimes.
“There’s nothing pro-military about overruling our military justice system to prevent it from delivering accountability for war crimes,” Buttigieg tweeted. “The president has again dishonored our armed services.”
The comments from the South Bend, Ind., mayor, who served in Afghanistan, came after Trump granted clemency to Army 1st Lt. Clint Lorance and Maj. Mathew Golsteyn despite lingering concerns the pardons could undermine the military justice system. The president also restored Navy SEAL Ed Gallagher’s rank to chief petty officer.
POTUS wannabe Pete speaks from experience, too. According to documents obtained by ABC 57’s investigative reporter Clifton French, Buttigieg served a total of nine months, with six months in the Afghanistan Threat Finance Cell (ATFC) in Kabul, placing him in “an imminent danger pay area” from late March to mid-September 2014.
Buttigieg represented ATFC at “high level briefings,” the documents say, and “coordinated intelligence sharing and targeting deconfliction” methods with multiple organizations.
In his book “Shortest Way Home,” Buttigieg wrote about how he expected to spend the bulk of his time as an intelligence analyst “behind a sophisticated computer terminal in a secure area.”
But out on the campaign trail, Buttigieg has talked about the 119 times he says he crossed “outside the wire,” leaving the relative safety of the base as a vehicle commander on convoy security detail in dangerous parts of Kabul.
“We learned what it is to trust one another with our lives,” Buttigieg said in his presidential launch speech.
The documents do not say anything about Buttigieg’s time outside the wire, but military officials who reviewed the documents for The Hill note that he likely did not engage in direct combat, which would have earned him a Navy combat ribbon.

Pete= remf
Heavy accent on the “R”
Wow. Good for that soldier. We need to call out these people on their hypocrisy.
LOL !
“Pete= remf”
Exactly!
Buttigeig, in my opinion, has never presented himself as a war hero at all. He has simply related his experiences in the service. We should respect that, I believe.
Buttplug has taken a page out of the J F'ing Kerry playbook?
