The former U.S. Navy SEAL who says he killed Osama bin Laden ripped President Trump's proposal for a military parade in the nation's capital.

The comments come after the White House said President Trump has asked the Pentagon to explore holding "a celebration" for Americans to show their appreciation for the armed forces. The military says it has begun moving forward with the request.

“President Trump is incredibly supportive of America’s great service members who risk their lives every day to keep our country safe. He has asked the Department of Defense to explore a celebration at which all Americans can show their appreciation,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement earlier this week.

Trump repeatedly has expressed interest in holding a display of America's military might and reportedly upped his calls for a parade after witnessing the Bastille Day celebrations on a trip to France last summer.

2. Conservatives only want to hear from vets who tow the line, alright!

[Hoyt]

3. Exactly. I don't have the best of opinion of Seals because of what they did to Iraqis, but

this guy is exactly right.

4. This parade would indeed contitute third world BS

6. I really wouldn't call France a 3rd World Nation...since that's where he got the idea.

Apparently our last military parade in DC was in 1991.

8. Trump does not want to salute the military. He wants the world to see the military salute him.

9. President Trump is incredibly supportive...

Unless they're captured. He doesn't like them then. What an absolute piece of trash he is.

10. If I was POTUS, maybe I'd allow a military parade just for good measure

Just to piss off conservatives, I'd ask LGBT and transgender members to have their own section and make it as "prideful" as possible. I bet the cons would be clamoring to call it off.

13. Women have a parade every January - right in Washington DC

BLM has had parades all over the country. Cheeto has no appreciation for everything that's been done for him.

11. He saw a military parade on Bastille Day in France

Someone should inform him about the significance of July 14 1789 and what happened during the ensuing French Revolution. I don't think he paid too much attention to history in school and he certainly hasn't bothered to learn much since.

[Stand and Fight]

14. Ugh... No, thanks. Went through and read his tweets and retweets. I suggest people investigate...

He's a right wing tool and often defends Trump. Yes, I fully understand that even a broken clock is right twice a day. The problem is how often a broken clock is wrong.

15. Honor our military by making them do overtime and march.

Maybe we should have the White House staff clean some latrines and give some soldiers, sailors and marines a day off. There's enough BS in the service without Cadet Bone Spurs coming up with more make-work ideas.
