WASHINGTON (AP) — A retired three-star Army general has been suspended from his duties as an adviser to active-duty officers, an Army spokeswoman said Saturday. The suspension followed reports that his social media account carried a comment critical of first lady Jill Biden.

Retired Lt. Gen. Gary Volesky was serving as an HQE-SM, a highly qualified expert-senior mentor, when he was suspended by Lt. Gen. Theodore Martin, commanding general of the Combined Arms Center, according to a statement from Army spokeswoman Cynthia O. Smith. She did not give a reason for the suspension, which was pending the outcome of an inquiry, and no other details were provided.
USA Today reported that a Twitter account under Volesky’s name carried a reply to a statement by the first lady following the Supreme Court’s action last month overturning the abortion rights decision 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 said.
The newspaper reported that the tweet under Volesky’s name stated: “Glad to see you finally know what a woman is.” The tweet was later deleted.
What happened to first amendment freedom of speech
She should be suspended for wanting to kill babies.
More middas sedom.
The left screams about their right to do what they want to “their” bodies. But these same murders have no qualms supporting the murder of Alta Fixler in England last year. Where were her right to “choose” to stay alive, or the many people in hospice care that the leftists would have no problem pulling the plug to be humane.
Censorship at its finest. Similar to doctors being threatened with losing the medical licenses if they dare speak against covid vax
Do we want an Army that can win wars or do we want a “woke” army that’s politically correct?
Those of you who said well he’s in the army – no he’s not. He’s retired ie a private citizen now. He absolutely has freedom of speech and should not be suspended for voicing a political opinion. THIS IS TYRANNY.
I think active members are not allowed to comment but if he’s hired I’m not sure he allowed to be fired over political speech. What do I know?
Why did the privileged white Joe Biden avoid fighting in Vietnam?
Retired General had the right to say this very simple statement without the threat of any backlash. I can’t stand this administration.
