Two Navy SEALs criticized President Joe Biden and his administration Monday following the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and the country’s capitulation to the Taliban.
Robert O’Neill, the Navy SEAL who killed Osama bin Laden during the 2011 raid on the terrorist’s Pakistani compound, said Biden is a disaster and called on Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley to resign.

“So, @POTUS is a disaster,” O’Neill wrote on Twitter.

The former Navy SEAL said Biden not only opposed the raid to kill bin Laden, but he also managed to lose Afghanistan “in 7 months.”
“This is the worst loss in American history,” he said. “Our most popular president has vanished. Prove me wrong.”
Following his criticism of the president, O’Neill turned his attention to Milley.
“There are Afghans falling to their deaths off of our retreating aircraft,” he wrote. “Has @thejointstaff resigned yet?”

O’Neill referred to the two people who died falling off a U.S. Air Force cargo plane after it took off.
“Not yet,” he wrote later. “Just checking.”
Another Navy SEAL, Derrick Van Orden, echoed O’Neill’s criticism for top Biden administration officials.

“You’ve got Secretary Blinken and Secretary Austin — they need to tender their resignations right now. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Milley, he needs to go peel potatoes in the galley for about a month and then resign also,” Van Orden said on Fox & Friends.
Van Orden, who is running for a Wisconsin congressional seat, said Biden officials are failing to meet their most basic responsibilities.

“These folks’ primary duty is to advise the president of the United States on diplomatic and military matters, and they’ve abjectly failed that,” he said. “The national security architecture of the United States of America is clearly broken right now.”
