US Army suspends general after tweet appearing to mock the President’s wife
Shafaq News/ a retired American general was suspended from the Army contract after a tweet that appeared to mock President’s wife.
The USA Today reports that Lt. Gen. Gary Volesky, the Army's former top spokesman, responded to a tweet from Jill Biden that said the rights of women had been stolen in the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
"For nearly 50 years, women have had the right to make our own decisions about our bodies. Today, that right was stolen from us," Biden tweeted.
"Glad to see you finally know what a woman is," Volesky said.
Lt. Gen. Theodore Martin, commander of the Combined Arms Center, suspended Volesky while the investigation is underway, Cynthia Smith, an Army spokesperson, told USA Today.
Volesky, who was in charge of the Army's 101st Airborne Division, had signed a contract after he retired to advise active-duty officers as a senior mentor.
Volesky's response is a breach of decorum for a retired military officer, USA Today writes.
