Press TV – Aug 31, 2021
The chorus of anger over the disastrous US Afghan withdrawal has gathered momentum, with nearly 90 retired US generals and admirals calling for Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley to resign for their roles surrounding the chaotic pullout.
The retired top-ranking military officials said in a letter that as principal military advisors to US President Joe Biden, Austin and Milley “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,” they wrote.
“Conversely, if they did do everything within their ability to persuade the [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.”
“A fundamental principle in the military is holding those in charge responsible and accountable for their actions or inactions. There must be accountability at all levels for this tragic and avoidable debacle,” the letter further read.
The retired flag officers proposed what they felt should have happened in the withdrawal, including not rushing the pullout and not abandoning the Bagram Air Base, and American weapons and military equipment in the hands of the Taliban.
The signatories noted that, “The hasty retreat has left initial estimates at 15,000 Americans stranded in dangerous areas controlled by a brutal enemy along with 25,000 Afghan citizens who supported American forces.”
The last US flight out of Afghanistan departed from the capital city of Kabul on Monday, marking the end of the 20-year US combat mission in Afghanistan that culminated in the Taliban taking control of most of the country.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said there were still more than 200 Americans remaining in Afghanistan as of Sunday morning.
“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 flag officers wrote in Monday’s letter.
“The damage to the reputation of the United States is indescribable. We are now seen, and will be seen for many years, as an unreliable partner in any multinational agreement or operation,” the letter continued.
House Rep. Ronny Jackson, the former top White House physician to Presidents Obama and Trump, is also a signatory to the letter. Jackson has previously called into question President Biden’s cognitive fitness for the job and demanded that he take a test similar to the one given to former US president Donald Trump.
President Biden also faces calls to resign or be impeached as those from all political backgrounds have criticized him for his handling of the notched US withdrawal.
Due to the Democrats stealing the presidential election for Biden (dementia), this group of courageous retired flag officers mentioned we need fair and honest elections. They actually mentioned election integrity demands insuring one legal vote cast and counted per citizen.
What happened? Retired and current liberal military officers verbally attacked them. Oh well.
I can’t help but laugh as I look at those two stunted military knobs. Proud Summa Cum Loudly graduates of the prestigious Diversity U.
Usually top soldiers are too pussy to criticise politicians. That’s why the politicians put them there. So somebody’s insisting they act out of character and get roughty-toughty with the boss, and no doubt it’s the same people pushing for Biden’s removal so they can install Witch Harris. The same people who promise they’ll become rich after service working for the arms industry … or maybe have that career destroyed.
Austin & Milley: Dumb & Dumber
Just keep hearing scorn and derision upon the American military.
‘I be an American General and I knows alot about explosives!!! DO YOU HEAR ME PRIVATES!!? BUT I CAN’TS RECOGNIZE A CONTROLLED DEMOLITIONS WHEN I SEES ONE!!! But I ain’ts a gonna let dat stops me from blowin’ the livin sh*ts out of some sand niggas in the Iraqs!!!!’
They’re more tacky, insipid, and useless than any caricature Hollywood could dream up.
Looks like General Aldo from the movie ‘Battle for the Planet of the Apes’ (1973), has found a new job as Pentagon Chief..
Here’s a little aside:
My neighbor across the street just came over to ask me to look after her chickens for her while she and her family go for the weekend to visit her family in Michigan. We have about the same mindset over these jabs and what’s happening around the world, but we got off about the jab and she was naming names of her friends and friend’s friends who have recently died of blood clots after receiving the jab. She personally named three, but here is the kicker…her cousin recently returned from Afghanistan, he is in the Navy. He told her that before his unit could leave from the airport, they were ordered to clean the airport up.
Has anyone heard anything about requiring our troops to clean up the airport for the Taliban.
What the hell, she has a good flock of chickens and while they are gone I always get all of the eggs. And she doesn’t ask me to clean the coop.
Seeing as all these events are conjuring up memories of that ol’ ‘black magic’ of 9/11 and the so-called ‘high number of magick’, 11.
September 11 is the 254th day of the year. ‘So meticulous…’ A repeat (with bonus tracks and missing artwork!) is not unlikely. As if to capitalize on an already stupefied audience.
“Sinister cynical instrument
Who makes the gun into a sacrament
The only response to the deification of tyranny by so-called
“developed nations” idolatry of ideology.”
I propose they throw those two psychopathic buffoons, Austin and Milley, into a pit with machetes and tire irons and make them fight to the death. The “loser” gets used as a public toilet. The “winner”, upon being helped out of the pit, gets vigorously flogged, hosed with pig piss, rolled in salt, and nailed to a rail and set adrift at sea.
Both of those insufferable a**holes are utterly disgraceful and demonic shit-stains on the fabric of humanity.
Hmm..
Quote from Irish Savant…
Well it’s possible. Biden is senile to the point of not knowing where he is at any one time while his Secretary Of Defense is this low-IQ negro who’d be stacking shelves in Costco were he White.
Can’t fault that …
