After another Twitter user asked Donahoe, “Hey general how many wars have you won,” Donahoe responded, “Don’t be a shill for Putin.”

Donahoe’s tweets drew public criticism, including from a congressman.

Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN), a Navy reservist who has grilled top military leaders on their embrace of Critical Race Theory, tweeted:

Sadly, current Pentagon leadership models this behavior rather than deterring it among the ranks. Milley et al have done more to disintegrate the apolitical ethos of the military than any General officer leaders in history that I can think of.

A significant portion of our military leaders, like General Donahoe, are totally detached from reality. They face no consequences for losing wars or losing troops to preventable suicides. Many of them don’t really command anything at all.

They are so ensconced in layers of bureaucrats, staff, operations and logistics shops, briefs, intelligence reports, public affairs officials, and aides that there is usually no danger of the public uncovering their true character, lack of leadership, or empty careers.

These generals are stupid, arrogant and chickenshit.

My interaction with the General serves as a microcosm of the American military’s cultural rot.

Here we have a two-star General who spends his days on social media .

Why would an Army General HAVE a Twitter account?

When my son was a corporal in the USMC, they were pretty much banned from using any social media.

What a pussy. Typical of today’s Generals. Can anyone imagine Norman Schwarzkopf throwing a hissy fit like this? Or being on twitter?

Poofter. And he looks about 12 years old. No command bearing.

Patty Donahoe seems to have very thin skin for a military man. I wonder if he got that at Villanova or at Harvard? Toughen up, Patrick!

I wonder what the common denominator is with these suicides? Has the recruiting standards been revised to accept anyone to fill an opening when there aren’t many willing to join? Maybe the “US” prefix is in order again? (Rhet.)

“Army Maj. Gen. Patrick Donahoe, commanding general of the U.S. Army Maneuver Center of Excellence at Fort Benning..”

Maneuver Center of Excellence? Indeed! Terminology like that could only be dreamed up by a pencil necked political handjob. Must strike fear in the hearts of the Russians, Chinese, and before that the Wehrmacht,Japanese Imperial Marines etc. We are so cornholed.

As a Sergeant Major, I used to counsel my officers to Stay TF off social media. There is no positive and plenty of negative. Unfortunately, most were narcissistic prima donnas

Woke, woke, woke. Everybody wants to be woke. We really need to come up with an flattering antonym and give people grounds to wake up to the woke crap.

[[Why would an Army General HAVE a Twitter account?]]

Craves attention and worries about what people think of him. Not exactly leadership material. No wonder the world laughs at our military these days (not saying most of the military is like this, they are not, but more and more wokie McWoksters are Infiltration our military these days, undermining the strength and integrity of the military, and just being a blight on the rest of the good folks there.)

Center of Excellence? The general is acting like a 14 year old mean girl posting crap on Twitter.
