US Army General Patrick Donahoe recently had a meltdown on Twitter after uncomfortable facts shared by one of the Twitter users grated on his nerves. The woke Army General was so riled up by the social media user’s tweets and the subsequent barrage of criticism directed at him that he posted a tweet referring to those disagreeing with him as “trolls” and members of “disinformation tinfoil hat team”.
However, social media users did not take the US Army General’s tweet kindly, accusing him of attempting to crush their free speech rights. Scores of Twitter users slammed Donahoe for calling upon people to block and report users who did not hew to his worldview.
The US Army General’s unseemly tweet, asking people to block dissenting voices came after he drew a sharp backlash from social media users for intimidating a social media user who questioned him on one of his tweets.
The matter pertains to a tweet posted by Major General Patrick Donahoe, where he urged the US army trainees to get vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccines after a spike was reported in young trainees in ICU and a spike in trainees testing positive for the coronavirus.
To this, one social media user, Josiah Lippincott, who is also a PhD student at Hillsdale College, shared the stark facts about the menace of suicide that afflicts the US Department of Defense. Josiah said in Q4 of 2020 alone, there were 26 more suicides reported as compared to that in Q4 of 2019. He further highlighted that there have been 26 total deaths from Covid-19 in the Department of Defense.
Sharing the suicide statistics from the Department of Defense website, the PhD student contended that lockdowns, liberty restrictions, quarantines, and general disruption of service members’ lives were bigger factors in driving people to kill themselves than the fatalities reported from the virus.

However, Donahoe dismissed Josiah’s contention as false equivalence and suggested that he compare the stats of auto accidents for the same period.
But Josiah responded back, highlighting the key difference between deaths from suicide and deaths from accidents. He said suicide is an intentional act while car accidents are not. “When policy treats healthy soldiers as biological hazards, we should not be surprised by an increase in suicide and psychological problems,” Josiah retorted.
Donahoe seemed rattled by this acerbic remark by the Twitter user and proceeded towards tagging the University where he is pursuing his PhD, presumably to scare the student from making any further argument.
However, this attempt to crush the free speech of a Twitter user did not sit well with netizens, who called out the Army General for attempting to trample upon the democratic right of a fellow citizen and intimidating him into submission. An overwhelming number of social media users came in the support of Josiah and slammed the US Army General for indulging in an act that did not behove an Army officer.
One Twitter user asked, “How many wars have you won General?” The General replied, “Dont be a shill for Putin.”
A Twitter user wondered if this is the way an army officer should be interacting with members of the public and said the Major General is an embarrassment and should be subjected to UCMJ proceeding for unbecoming conduct.
That seems like conduct unbecoming of an Army officer especially considering his rank and position within the military
Sounds like I’m takin’ a quick trip to Twatterland….. See if I can’t get myself banned just a little while raking a Manchurian General over some coals…..
Pretty thin skinned for a General… lol
Hahahaha, holy shit, he’s being absolutely burned alive in a Twitter riot…… Screenshotting before the head honchos come to the rescue….
He isn’t used to any one questioning him😂
This is a high ranking protector of the free world???
You’d think a general of the US Army would be a little smarter than him. Why would an adult, apparently sentient person even engage in this infantile line of thought. Better to not speak and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
When a General fights the wrong battle, sad to see.
Biden admin will probably give him a presidential award.
Just love it! He should retire. He’s an older flat tire.
Lol all the veterans are laughing at you, “general”.
Another example that all military above the rank and file are compromised. The military was never the answer but it does make our enemies smile.
The only people who died in 1918 were the vaccinated. Maybe the general should stop shilling for pharma and the woke agenda
The military is run by leftists
Imagine a guy like that is able to give an order to “fire”
This life is a stupid general that don’t have a clue
Dang! Look at that fat stack this 2 star POG has! A whole whopping 6 ribbons!!! Wooooo weeeee! I know PFCs with more balls and more ribbons to show for it.
“Retreat!”
Wow! #weakAF
If captured by the enemy Is he going to beg for his safe space ?😂
