July 26, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – While encouraging COVID-19 vaccinations, a major general in the U.S. Army recently dismissed a Twitter user’s questions about a suicide spike among troops.
“To get ahead get the shot,” General Patrick Donahoe tweeted on July 22, in reference to a previous tweet he wrote about getting vaccinated.
“Takes five weeks to build the immunity. If you haven’t done so, do it right now. Delta variant ain’t playing.”
Marine veteran and Hillsdale College doctoral student Josiah Lippincott responded on Twitter, challenging the general to focus more on the suicide problems among the troops. Lippincott attributed the spike in military suicides to lockdowns, both in society generally and on bases.
“General, in Q4 of 2020 alone, there were 26 more suicides than in Q4 2019. There have been 26 Covid deaths TOTAL in the DoD,” Lippincott wrote.
