Retired three-star Army general is suspended from mentoring job for mocking Jill Biden tweet slamming end of Roe v. Wade by replying: 'Glad to see you finally know what a woman is'

A retired three-star Army general was suspended from a high paying mentoring job for mocking a recent tweet Jill Biden made regarding the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade.

'Glad to see you finally know what a woman is,' was the response Lieutenant General Gary Volesky tweeted on Friday. The tweet, which appeared to reference ongoing arguments over transgender rights and gender-neutral language, has since been removed.

The offensive remark may have cost the retired army general his cushy $92 hour mentoring role as the Army conducts its own internal investigation.

Volesky posted his snarky comment less than 30 minutes after the First Lady sent out a tweet expressing her devastation over the Supreme Court's ruling that denied a woman's constitutional right to abortion, that has been in effect since 1973.

'For nearly 50 years, women have had the right to make their own decisions about their bodies,' Jill Biden said.

'Today that right was stolen from us.'

'And while we maybe devastated by this injustice, we will not be silent. We will not sit back as the progress we have already won slips away.' A US Army spokesperson told Fox News: 'Lt. Gen. Theodore Martin, commanding general of the Combined Arms Center, has suspended retired Lt. Gen. Gary Volesky from performing duties as a Highly Qualified Expert — Senior Mentor pending the outcome of the commander’s inquiry.'

The word 'woman' and its definition has become a controversial topic that has prompted a culture war between conservatives and Democrats, who seemingly have dodged the answer for fear of angering woke pro-trans mobs.

Many progressives have taken to using terms including 'pregnant people,' 'menstruators' and even 'uterus-havers.'

They say the terms are designed to include transgender men and non-binary people, neither of whom are women.

I’m with your wife on that. Those “labels” are so demeaning. Liberals are stupid.

He’s essentially a civilian under contract employment.

He can be released at any time for any reason whatsoever. Or no reason at all.

No resistance to Wokeness will be tolerated by the Woke perfumed princes in the Pentagon.
If President Trump runs he will be reelected. This November will likely be his decision-making guideline.
If he gets back in the Whitehouse he should make Purging the Woke Brass and Senior officers a priority.

Yes, sir. We found a general to organize the patriot army. This is how it’s done. And screw all you defeatist traitors who are about to post negative crap.

Looks like he may have evaded the Halfrican's hunt for loyal patriots in the American military.

They finally got him for insulting Joey Diaper's tart - but his retirement is still in the bag.
