"U. Ok 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 wordsthanks to these American hero's. #Grateful".

This current DoD is so vapid and superficial. We need a purge of top officers.

Why is that dude's name Maria?

Is it one of those odd names like Carroll Shelby is a man's name?

Pretty embarrassing all around but she owned up to it fully very quickly and the Brits were cool and gave her a quick out to salvage the situation.

She still should have known.

Airborne + Air Assault. Looks like she can score really high on a physical fitness test. That's all that really matters.

Being able to identify friend or foe on your own soldiers, not as important.

Right or wrong 99% chance she didn't post that, it was a Major or Captain aide / staff member. Lieutenant Colonel Battalion Commanders and Colonel Brigade Commanders don't even manage their social media pages. It's a PAO (public affairs officer ). She prob has several.

Yep, someone on staff is getting a not so positive oer bullet.

Or maybe not. No idea how they deal with mistakes at that level.

Let's not kid ourselves. She didn't reach her rank because she's a brilliant strategist or a fierce warrior.

True. But I feel safe in saying she didn't reach it the same way Kamala did either

Is there a surgical procedure to turn a Brit into an US Citizen? If so how do you then form a support group to reinforce the illusion the Brit is a US citizen.

Asking for a friend.

She did her time serving in Iraq during Desert Storm then went back to Iraq again few times after 9/11. Have you been there once? She is a chemical officer , and not a West Point Grad. Those types of officers don't become Generals, male or female. Extremely few and far between.

She's not a diversity hire because she's a woman...it's because she's a chemical officer. That's a gotdaym unicorn as a 3*.

And yea...someone on her PAO staff is in trouble.

Ok. Other than a couple of weapons whats really to tell they aren't American. At first glance I thought I was seeing an M4 and a 240 or 249. Everyone wears multi-cam these days. Her PR person is who sucks

First giveaway should have been there are no blacks or hispanics... but maybe that's what threw her off, since she's obviously a racist.

1. Uniforms
2. Weapons
3. As spreadsheet said, lack of minorities. I served in the Army and never saw a group of soldiers that large that were all lily white

That's ok, I think most people did too...

You'd think that a decorated officer in our military would know the difference.

To communicate with their personnel and interested parties.

By your argument Lackland or any installation shouldn't have a public affairs team.

They need a Twitter account to do this? I guess communication was just terrible through Desert Storm. Hell even the original invasion of Afghanistan or Iraq after 9/11 had none of this and we seemed much better off.

These people don't need Twitter accounts and should not be giving statements to the public.

So the military just invades countries?

Remind me during a natural disaster, some sort of training incident, or any community engagement.

The PAO team messed up but your take is ill informed.

Your schtick is acting like the only veteran on this board . You're not. The military brass is full of incompetent sycophants who do stupid things. This person having a Twitter account is a liability. My take is informed.
