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.

Are the Democratic values in lue of senile and incompetent leadership.
You thought the Rats are going after your 2nd amendment, they have been chock holding the country with the media for freedom of speech and expression unless it’s the extreme left who is speaking.
To The rest of citizens of U.S. SHUT UP AND OBAY.
(Unless you are illegal immigrant. Who will get to vote and get free education and Medical).
People need to remember democrats can’t be called out but it’s a לק ולא יעבר to call out republicans
Get your facts straight. He is 100 percent entitled to speak his voice on ANY subject including his thoughts about FLOTUS. Just don’t expect to get paid by DOD to advise active duty military while making such publici comments about the wife of the Commander in Chief.
So freedom of speech is no longer a given in the USA???
It bothers me tremendously that they get away with just being called woke. It is a gross understatement and it downplays, almost in a humorous way, what they do. It’s like we laugh at their jokes. And it’s not a joke. The democrats -the politicians and the stupid voters that enable them- are vile, vicious, ruthless tyrants and fascists who will stop at nothing until they destroy whoever doesn’t conform to their evil rules and wicked ideas, aimed at quenching their insatiable thirst for power.
She, of course, is the real president. As the leader in command, you cannot poke any fun.
I hope he’s reinstated pronto and that they lift the White House staff exemption for the c19 shot until they also exempt the military from it.
He is a victim of his own dumb decision.
What a stupid thing to say.
no reply….As long as Hunter is torching america with theft and lies and Biden is handing everything over to china….I can’t assume one iota that this filth would enter Israel let alone have a general tossed for doing what all the boys do…trash women
A very halachik decision – a man and his wife are one person, so no disrespect to the C-I-C! Not even a tweet. Paging John Adams to re-establish Alien Sedition Act. Was anyone imprisoned for offending Abigail Adams?
“Gadol”, any measure taken by the government to punish someone for their speech violates the first amendment.
I don’t understand the retired general’s comment. Can a general be punished for illiteracy?
Huju, stop lying. You’re not so stupid as not to understand a very reasonable and logical comment. The Democrat Party insists that there is no way to define “woman”. That anyone who says “they” is a woman is one. But at the same time when it comes to so-called “women’s rights” they suddenly know what a woman is!
Milhouse: I know you are smarter than some of your really dumb posts. No military allows insults of the commander in chief (or his wife). He can say whatever he wants but not while mentoring active duty officers and being paid by the Feds.
