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 Americas 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.

He wants the world to see the military salute him.

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