He posted the innocuous photo to his personal Twitter account with the message, &#8220;Heading to daughter\u2019s cheerleading with one of my best friends and fellow Iraq vet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Men, particularly the type to be assigned in and around a Special Forces Group, being men, they took notice of the lovey lady. In my read through, most of the comments really aren&#8217;t even that off color, and some of them came from women. Here are a couple of examples;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Foxhole buddy?<\/li>\n<li>Hubba hubba<\/li>\n<li>Nice flex dude wow she\u2019s gorgeous<\/li>\n<li>It&#8217;s nice to know that car is a very safe car, it has dual airbags for sure.<\/li>\n<li>If God blessed all our Vets as much as he did that one, the world would be a more beautiful place.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That last one is my personal favorite. Reminds me of the sort of thing my dad would say. Back on topic, the captain here responded to the comments with a now deleted tweet;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-113754\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Rick-Dickson-Offensive-Tweet-500x290.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"290\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Rick-Dickson-Offensive-Tweet-500x290.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Rick-Dickson-Offensive-Tweet-300x174.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Rick-Dickson-Offensive-Tweet-768x445.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Rick-Dickson-Offensive-Tweet.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s that last wee little line that&#8217;s now got the captain into trouble. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2021\/05\/19\/3rd-special-forces-group-spokesman-tweet-triggers-suspension-inquiry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Army Times reports<\/a> he&#8217;s been suspended pending a commander&#8217;s inquiry.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Dickson made the comments from his personal account, but \u201cthat doesn\u2019t excuse any distasteful or potentially inappropriate language being used,\u201d an Army official familiar with the situation said on background.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He&#8217;s since posted an apology video, with his lady friend who says she was not bothered by his comment.
