NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The man who shot and killed Osama bin Laden in 2011 has been demoted by the Navy from SEAL (Sea-Air-Land) to SEL after he was kicked off an airliner for allegedly being too drunk to fly, sources confirmed today.
Naval Special Warfare Command stripped Robert O'Neill of his Trident warfare device just days after police responded to an incident at the Nashville airport, in which he was allegedly drunk and belligerent on a flight bound for Dallas, Texas. He was later removed from the plane.
"He may get away with plenty since he's the SEAL who shot bin Laden, but in this case he failed to fall back on his training," said Cmdr. Mike Williamson, a Navy spokesman, "Which requires that he regale the plane with highly-classified cool-guy stories and taking selfies with hot girls. He didn't."
