The former U.S. Navy SEAL who fired the shots that killed Osama bin Laden has weighed in on an iconic photograph of a migrant mother with two barefoot children against a backdrop of a smoking tear gas canister.

“A good rule for parenting: Don’t bum-rush the border of a sovereign nation with your toddlers,” wrote former special warfare operator Robert J. O'Neill, in a post on Twitter, referring to the Nov. 25 photo taken moments after a group of Central American migrants rushed the border crossing into San Diego and were forced back by tear gas.
