The United States Army’s Twitter account was ridiculed by critics after it boasted of its efforts to increase diversity in the force.

“Extremism can tear apart cohesive teams,” the Army said on Twitter. “Col. Timothy Holman is the Army’s chief diversity officer and his aim is clear: do what he can to help open a path for future Army leaders and make the force as diverse as the nation it defends.”
