Afghanistan
Three-star idiot! ‘Clueless' - US army general calls British Paratroopers ‘American heroes'
2021-09-07
[EXPRESS] A "CLUELESS" US army general branded British Paratroopers returning from Afghanistan last week "American heroes" in a cringe-worthy tweet.

Lieutenant General Maria R. Gervais
... deputy commanding general of and chief of staff of the US Army Training and Doctrine Command, so she ought to know ...
tweeted a widely-shared snap of exhausted-looking Parachute Regiment soldiers flying back to the UK after helping the humanitarian effort in the country. During the airlift - the largest the UK has carried out in decades - more than 15,000 people were rescued from the war-torn country before the Taliban took control.
Forfoksake !

#9  Can't even recognize her own Army's uniform? That's a bit of a stretch.

#8  Ref #5: My guess as well. The best and brightest do NOT usually gravitate toward Chemical officer branch and assignments. I'm guessing some Rapinoesque life-style similarities, but it's only a guess.

'Oh dad, you'd be so proud of me. I was selected for Chemical Branch.'

#3  Honestly this is about what I expect out of Army leadership these days. I can't name a single current general that I've heard of that I have any respect for. They all seem to be ones like this. Even "Mad dog Mattis" turned out to be one of them.
