A deputy editor for The New York Times went after Robert O&#8217;Neill, the Navy SEAL who killed Osama bin Laden, accusing him on Wednesday of being a &#8220;p*ssy&#8221; who is unwilling to sacrifice for others after not wearing a mask on a plane.
Dan Saltzstein quote-tweeted O&#8217;Neill, who had posted a picture of himself maskless in a plane with the words, &#8220;I&#8217;m not a p*ssy.&#8221; Behind him was a man in a USMC hat, who was wearing a mask. In response, Saltzstein said, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know this guy but: counterpoint, you might just be because you&#8217;re not willing to sacrifice and be a little uncomfortable for your fellow humans (including that marine behind you)!&#8221;

NYT editor tells the Navy SEAL who killed Bin Laden that he’s not willing to sacrifice 😂😂😂 beyond parody <a href="https://t.co/8OujXwkeGs">pic.twitter.com/8OujXwkeGs</a>

Saltzstein later deleted his tweet and clarified, &#8220;I deleted a previous version of this tweet because I broke my own rule about name-calling. So let me try again: I honor O’Neill for his sacrifices to his country and his heroism. It’s sad that he can’t extend the same for the safety of his fellow passengers.&#8221;

O&#8217;Neill also deleted his original tweet, but claimed his wife did it.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
I didn’t delete my tweet. My wife did.
&mdash; Robert J. O&#39;Neill (@mchooyah) <a href="https://twitter.com/mchooyah/status/1296151889667657728?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 19, 2020</a></blockquote>
O&#8217;Neill, who claims to have fired the shots that killed al Qaeda&#8217;s leader during the May 2011 raid of his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, sparked a heated debate on Twitter with his picture, as The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/08/19/ex-navy-seal-brags-about-not-wearing-dumb-ass-mask-on-plane/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">reported</a>. One user told him, &#8220;You’re endangering a veteran’s life. How patriotic,&#8221; and others accused of him endangering the elderly.
In tweets also since <a href="https://twitter.com/mchooyah/status/1296067776705069056" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">deleted</a>, O&#8217;Neill went off on China and the coronavirus, writing, &#8220;China told you to wear a mask. Look down… you’re wearing a mask. I’m not.&#8221;
&#8220;Make no mistake.. this &#8216;pandemic&#8217; was sent to you by China,&#8221; he went on, adding, &#8220;Do you remember the complete, incompetent morons buying all of the toilet paper? They’re the ones telling you to wear masks now.&#8221;
&#8220;I’m not being rude… I’m just telling you facts,&#8221; he maintained.
O&#8217;Neill also told his many Twitter followers, &#8220;I know more about biological warfare than most of you. We were trained. These dumb ass masks do nothing. Nothing,&#8221; and insisted a bandana &#8220;does more harm than good.&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;m not afraid of the mob,&#8221; O&#8217;Neill eventually wrote after facing backlash. &#8220;Come get some.&#8221; He also said in a series of tweets, &#8220;There is a time to act. Who&#8217;s with me?&#8221; and &#8220;I shook thousands of hands and gave thousands of hugs this week. I flew on some planes. I’ll be alive next week.&#8221;

In May, O&#8217;Neill got into a Twitter <a href="https://popculture.com/celebrity/news/alyssa-milano-claps-back-navy-seal-osama-bin-laden-mask/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">spat</a> with actress Alyssa Milano after she posted a picture of herself wearing a knit mask with holes in it. &#8220;There are holes in your mask, love,&#8221; O&#8217;Neill mocked, to which Milano responded, &#8220;Carbon filter inside, love.&#8221;
