Almost 90 retired Generals and Admirals joined forces to demand that Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin resign from his position. These retired leaders are concerned that Washington’s current leadership is focusing on making the military more woke.
From The Daily Wire:
Nearly 90 retired generals and admirals wrote a letter demanding that Secretary of Defense (SECDEF) Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) Mark Milley resign from their roles immediately over the “events surrounding the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan” that unfolded under their leadership in the Biden administration.
“What should have happened upon learning of the Commander in Chief’s (President Biden’s) plan to quickly withdraw our forces and close the important power projection base Bagram, without adequate plans and forces in place to conduct the entire operation in an orderly fashion?” they wrote. “As principal military advisors to the CINC/President, the SECDEF and CJCS should have recommended against this dangerous withdrawal in the strongest possible terms.”
“If they did not do everything within their authority to stop the hasty withdrawal, they should resign. Conversely, if they did do everything within their ability to persuade the CINC/President to not hastily exit the country without ensuring the safety of our citizens and Afghans loyal to America, then they should have resigned in protest as a matter of conscience and public statement,” they continued. “The consequences of this disaster are enormous and will reverberate for decades beginning with the safety of Americans and Afghans who are unable to move safely to evacuation points; therefore, being de facto hostages of the Taliban at this time.”
The retired military commanders criticized the Biden administration for enabling the death and torture of Afghans that, they said, “has already begun and will result in a human tragedy of major proportions.”
Actions like this are in line with what most members of the service think, the government is focusing too much on Political Correctness and not enough on winning wars.
Totally agree and i am often wondering if china virus is specially marking just the red states..i hardly hear of a lot of Democrat states getting it , unless media covering that up as well….i would put NOTHG aside these demons would not stoop to do to rid of thr opponents, look how many so called suicides have been ,when someone turns on them.

I have no idea but the 20% the big guy normally gets could raise concern. Still a massive bombing campaign could reopen Bagram as a point to inject American forces into Afghanistan. Once completed put a bullseye on the back of every Taliban in the world and pay a bounty to any group adding to the kill list. Hunt them until there is no-one to brag that they defeated the United States in a war.
And please, take Biden with the first assault. After all, he has never served in our armed forces. Perhaps he could really learn how things work.
The American citizens that were left behind
I strongly suspect that they are Trump supporters. I don’t know if this is true, but more likely they will never forget, and also might have something to say to biden.
Even I know how to evacuate a country, but I get confused to why biden did it like he did, and not having anybody speak up to stop him.
