U.S. Army Lieutenant General Maria Gervais, who heads up the Army’s Training and Doctrine Command posted a photo Saturday of what she thought were U.S. troops leaving Afghanistan, but it turns out they were British troops later IDed as being with the 16th Air Assault Brigade. Getting that third star apparently doesn’t take much in today’s woke military.
Not noticing the British uniforms and weaponry (SA80s), Gervais tweeted Saturday morning, “This picture is worth 1000 words—thanks to these American hero’s. #Grateful”
18 minutes later Gervais acknowledged her error, “Absolutely correct— British troops— thankful to our British heroes and all who helped w/ this mission! Absolutely love the picture!!”
The Brits were kind to our confused three star general, “Thank you General. @16AirAssltBde were privileged to be part of the team and serve alongside @82ndABNDiv and @USMC No closer Allies or friends. #AdUnumOmnes”
Gervais replied, “This was a tough dangerous mission — couldn’t have done it without you and all our partners. Apologize up front for mistake”.
The Brits were gracious, “No need to apologise. One Team”

As one can imagine the comments by incredulous Americans were not so forgiving. This one by retired Marine Gunnery Sergeant Jesse Jane Duff says it best, “Yikes. A 3 star general at that. My Marines woulda’ submitted my retirement papers for me if I did that. Maybe that’s why the military left so many Americans behind – the generals didn’t recognize them.”
This is a close second, “Cost of forever war for US: $2 trillion, US LTG not knowing these are British soldiers: Priceless”
Ain’t affirmative action grand?
This is because she was given a “diversity” promotion.
The opposite of a Patton. Dumb broad in the wrong place.
Well, you know, all green and brown uniforms how is a general to keep all those guys straight.
My past position was nothing but “diversity” promotions. Had one as a director who was afraid to go our labs because she was “afraid she was going to get electrocuted.” Needless to say, I’m no longer with these clowns. This country is a mess and it’s our fault.
From Generals to Genitals — America’s Woke Military
A 3 star general makes a public mistake like that?
Cringe!
I guarantee if you go back in her past and talk to people who served with her or under her, she’s been inept her whole career but she got a pass because, well you know. Flame away if you must, but I have a pretty good idea what I’m talking about. I’ve seen it. I served 22 years in Uncle Sams Air Force.
One clue might have been the lack of ‘diversity’.
Doesn’t even know the details of her own profession. Pathetic.
Hero’s? Did she seriously write that vs. HEROES!
SMH!
Hey, give her a break, how is a general supposed to know what the uniforms of enlisted men look like?
Fortunately, I had my keyboard shield on.
Check out all the salad on the Louie Genital's dress uniform.
Before, Gervais was the Director of the Synthetic Training Environment Cross Functional Team. In case you're wondering, the US Army explains that the Synthetic Training Environment is "an emerging capability that will converge current live, virtual, constructive and gaming environments into a single simulation training environment" which "will keep pace with, and adapt to the rapid development of technologies."
And prior to that, Gervais was the Deputy Commanding General of the United States Army Combined Arms Center, which, as the US Army explains, "develops and integrates Army leader development, doctrine, education, lessons learned, functional training, training support, training development, and proponent responsibilities in order to support mission command and prepare the Army to successfully conduct unified land operations in a joint, inter-agency, inter-governmental, multinational environment."
OTOH, Britain has the Ministry of Silly Walks.
How to know the US photo was really fake and was a photo of British troops:
Telltale signs left on their hands of eating jammydodgers and crumbs all over the place from digestives they had at tea. Giveaways.
Note:
(Jammydodgers look like donut buns but have loads of preserves in the middle. Digestives are like caramel and chocolate covered wafer cookies. McVitties are my favorites.)
And I thought the Peter Principle was going to ruin us.
Yep. Just as I suspected. Her photo screams “lesbian”.
Good catch. I was still trying to decipher TRADOC.
