Delta bans Navy SEAL who killed Bin Laden after mask-less selfie

Delta Air Lines said Thursday that it has banned retired U.S. Navy SEAL Robert O’Neill, the man credited with killing Osama Bin Laden, for allegedly failing to wear a mask during a recent flight.

O’Neill, 44, tweeted that he had been banned from the airline “for posting a picture.” Earlier this week, O’Neill posted a now-deleted mask-less selfie while sitting on a Delta plane, with the caption, "I'm not a [expletive]."

“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,” a Delta spokesman told FOX Business. “Failure to comply with our mask-wearing mandate can result in losing the ability to fly Delta in the future.”

O’Neill said the picture was a joke and that he had his mask in his lap when it was taken. He criticized Delta in response to the ban, writing, “Thank God it wasn’t @Delta flying us in when we killed Bin Laden."

"Airlines aren’t just any business."

They also like to violently remove customers from overbooked flights to make room for crew members.

Mask rules are idiotic but you’re 100% correct. When you walk into a business establishment you play by their rules.

You don’t practice civil disobedience in my place of business. You’ll be civil disobedienced out the door on your ass.

Lol, I’m guessing your rant is entirely hypothetical.

And now they can go out of business. Works both ways.

Delta’s property, Delta’s rules. Delta, like other businesses, can use trespassing laws to refuse service. There are some laws against discrimination, but refusing to wear a mask isn’t supported by any of those laws. Only commies and fascists want to impose their own rules on someone else’s business. If you don’t like a company’s policies, don’t go away mad. Just go away.

I used to love to fly Delta. Now I won’t get near them even if they were the only airline flying. How low the once mighty have sunk, like a dead skunk on the road.

Forget the mask.

Most of us would like to know - before we get on board - that we will be flying in the same plane with the guy who killed Bin Laden!

Exactly. He didn’t kill Bid Laden on his Delta flight.

WHAT PEANUTS & Coke?

Was your last flight in a prop plane?

No peanuts for years on airlines.

No snacks since the virus issues.

Follow Delta’s rules or don’t ride Delta’s planes. Simple solution.
