The US Army's top sergeant major was heavily criticized online for sending a post to highlight Women's Equality Day and diversity in the army amid the ISIS-K suicided bombing attacked that killed 13 U.S. service members in Afghanistan.
Sergeant Major of the Army Michael Grinston, The U.S. Army's most senior enlisted member who serves as an advisor on enlistment efforts, received a backlash for his tweet, which said, '#WomensEqualityDay reminds us we’re smarter and more lethal when we come together as an inclusive, cohesive team.
Many called out Grinston's tweet, saying the post was tone deaf after the chaos at Kabul turned deadly on Thursday.
Mike Roffall criticized the tweet and accused Grinston of pushing a 'woke' agenda during a time of crisis. 'Why would you even consider posting this at a time like this," he wrote.
