Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley held a press conference yesterday to address the national humiliation in process in Kabul (transcript here, video below). Their performance aggravated the disgrace. One can’t help but wonder if these folks have misspent their time absorbed in CRT, “white rage,” vaccinations, and sundry other distractions. General Milley appears to have been struggling to suppress a little rage of his own.
Austin and Milley are Wynken and Nod. A review of the transcript makes it clear that Blinken (Secretary of State Antony) should also have made an appearance.
Whatever happened to resignation in the case of epic failure? Along with their boss, they have been weighed in the balance and found wanting. Slow Joe is not fully cognizant, period, let alone cognizant of the disgrace for which he is responsible. Austin and Milley are fully cognizant, but they appear to lack something in the shame department.

I am the very model of a modern Major-General
I’ve information political, racial, and genderal,
I can quote our defeat from every fight historical
From Saigon to Kabul in order categorical;
I’m very well acquainted with matters mathematical,
I understand equations, especially the racially equitable,
Because Black Lives Matter, and whites simply deplorable.
I’m very well informed in all things Islamical,
Unlike myself, I find that they are not very comical.
Nah.
Milley-Vanilli was sharting his general-drawers...
I wonder if there’s a service ribbon for that?
Biden is doing in Afghanistan what he’s doing in America...wrecking it.
That's putting it nicely, but he's really screwing the pooch.
People put into office with fraud have NO compunction to be honest after that event.
Milley is right, the Post Mortem will come and it will not be kind to Milley
The King and I?
2nd guess is HMS Pinafore.
Pirates of Penzance, IIRC
OK that was my 3rd guess. But I think that Yul Brynner had a similar soliloquy in the King & I. Maybe.
Wynken is the vice-president who smiles, giggles, and flutters her eyes whenever the camera is on her.
Nod is the sogenanten (so-called) commander-in-chief, who is asleep at the wheel.
