You think he is a jerk. I think he is an American hero. We will never agree. So does disagreeing allow you to make a personal attack on me insinuating I'm a jerk??MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 12, 2022 11:56 amApparently you've decided you want to give the LtG a run for his money in that department today.cradleandshoot wrote: ↑Tue Jul 12, 2022 11:53 amUsing your criteria Jill and the general are running neck and neck in the race towards jerk town.

IMO he is a decorated hero. IMO your attack was nasty and mean spirited. I bet you would never express your opinion to the generals face. Anyhow, thanks for the back and forth.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 12, 2022 7:32 am On July 9, 2022, the US Army suspended Volesky from a lucrative consultant’s role after a social media post appearing under his name taunted first lady Jill Biden's support of abortion rights. In response to the U.S. Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade, Dr. Biden tweeted, “For nearly 50 years, women have had the right to make our own decisions about our bodies. Today, that right was stolen from us.” An account under Volesky’s name replied: “Glad to see you finally know what a woman is.”[9] Volesky had previously made another social media post stating the United States House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack was "all about partisan politics".[10]
Yup, simply no longer gonna get paid by the US Army as a consultant.
"His comments were not in step with decorum for retired military officers."
He's a jerk, IMO.
Is that a "nasty, mean spirited attack" that I "should be ashamed of"???
My, such a snow flake response.
No question that he is a decorated hero. But he's also a demonstrated jerk in this case. Simply deleting your inappropriate comment without an apology also speaks volumes.
Jill's speech writer screwed up, she didn't pick up on it; should have. She apologized. An adult.
Lt.G wrote the offensive statement on purpose, no apology. A jerk.
Lighten up and don't be a snowflake...or a jerk.
Again, I have zero issue with your considering this LtG or Flynn or any other senior officer you think is deserving of respect for their service to be a "hero".
IMO, their prior service is simply not relevant to what they do and say, now, on entirely unrelated topics.
check out the hearings starting in a few minutes...likely to be more interesting.
