Navy SEAL who oversaw the bin Laden raid says he’s the ‘biggest fan of the millennials you’ll ever meet’

Retired Adm. William McRaven, a former US Navy SEAL commander and head of US Special Operations Command, emphasized that he remained optimistic in leaving the country’s future to the younger generation even with the challenges of fighting coronavirus and systemic racism.

“I’ve said it before, but I’m the biggest fan of the millennials you’ll ever meet,” McRaven said during a virtual broadcast of the Aspen Ideas Festival, referring to the generation born from 1981 to 1996.

McRaven, who is 64 years old and served 37 of them in the Navy, said his belief “surprises a lot of people” due to a faulty belief that the younger generation, particularly millennials, are “entitled” and “little snowflakes.”
