He wouldn't get it, or would mistakenly see it as further bashing of the President.

Correct the disinformation and go for the underlying emotion...something along the lines of

"Obama planned the mission and directed it and honored the SEALS who carried out his orders... he did a great job! But you seem angry ---geee that doesn't make sense."

Something like that. Include the military chain of command---they like military stuff. Make it simple and aim at the EMOTION.
