Speech to US baseball team by Navy SEAL who killed Osama bin Laden prompts liberal backlash

Former Navy SEAL Robert J. O'Neill, who was part of the 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden, delivered a pregame speech to Team USA players ahead of their World Baseball Classic quarterfinal game against Canada Friday. 

Team USA beat Canada 5-3 to advance to the semifinals after O'Neill's pep talk. But the speech also received criticism from left-wing social media users within and beyond the U.S. 

Many who criticized the speech condemned its pro-war messaging and association of war with American values.
