Delta bans ex-Navy SEAL involved in bin Laden raid after maskless selfie

A former Navy SEAL involved in the raid that killed Osama bin Laden has been banned from flying Delta Air Lines after posting a selfie of himself on a flight without a mask on, the airline confirmed to The Hill on Thursday.

Robert O'Neill tweeted a photograph of himself on Wednesday morning without a mask on, with the caption, "I'm not a p----." The tweet has since been deleted.

"Part of every customer's commitment prior to traveling on Delta is the requirement to acknowledge our updated travel policies, which includes wearing a mask. Failure to comply with our mask-wearing mandate can result in losing the ability to fly Delta in the future," a Delta spokesperson told The Hill.

O'Neill tweeted on Thursday afternoon that he was banned from Delta.

...was the target of this idiot's comment.
The marine wearing a mask was a wimp, but tough guy isn't! He was making fun of the marine.
That's how I read it, anyway.

Like any other targeted ad service, DU subscribes and firms can either specify which sites the ads go on, they are displayed based on your past activity, or they just randomly pop up on various sites in the category specified by the campaign.

Buying a Star might help a lot of them, because ads are one of the ways DU funds itself. Stars & Hearts are others.


Hint: If a Trump ads appears, and you have are atomized properly, with up to date anti-virus, click on them and go one page deep. Make Trump pay between $2 - $5 for your click. You can generally only do this once a day, because the ad systems resolve multiple clicks so a single person can't deplete a daily campaign fund.
