Just a note about entitlement mentality:
The same guy who refused to wear a mask on DL and bragged about it was the guy who violated the Navy Seal's code and bragged about his individual exploits in order to cash in on a mission that required the efforts of countless soldiers and intelligence operatives.

Maybe your national hero, sure ain't mine. The guy is an idiot and certainly an embarrassment right now. Glad Delta banned him. He and nobody else is above the law or any regulations or policies, period.

The DoD sees nothing political about masks and has mandated them on my local bases when social distancing cannot be maintained since April

Well, we've been told that masks aren't political. I doubt anyone else on that plane would have put themselves in the sort of peril that he and other members of the military have. We offer members of our military certain privileges that aren't available to everyone else. So I'm not sure why exceptions can't be made. They refused him boarding. Why wasn't that enough? Putting him on a no fly list for the rest of his life is way overboard imo. But then we've had people on FT complain about being held up getting off the plane because of a military escort bringing home a deceased service member. So I guess I should know better.

Hard to believe a retired navy seal turned into such a snowflake.

This guy put the lives of however many other passengers and crew at risk. The cautious and right thing to do when dealing with an infectious & deadly disease is to ban the guy.

People who choose not to or are unable to obey the rules are banned. It is not for DL to delve into the reasons underlying the situation.

But it this is also not his first time being in trouble on a plane, as posted in the comments section in the OneMileataTime article:

Meanwhile the military has strict mask mandates in base installations/facilities, especially when you’re around others, and has strict quarantine policies for those traveling on official DOD business and for many of those moving to certain bases for new assignments. And who are you to know what anyone else on that plane has or hasn’t done? I’m a vet, flew yesterday, on Delta no less, and wore my mask, because it’s what we’re supposed to do. So please don’t attempt to speak for “us” because this vet thinks DL was 100% in the right

Not that will matter to some who have already judged and quartered the guy but he claims it was a joke (within the realm of possibility in my opinion and not the first twitter joke to go awry):
The former SEAL Team Six member later took the photo down — at the urging of his wife, he claimed — and also insisted he always wears a mask and that the tweet was “a joke.”
Anywho maybe it wasn’t a joke and he is the devil killing innocent flyers.
