Woke and PC US Military; an analysis. >>>> It is time to face an uncomfortable fact. Our military is no longer capable of fighting and winning wars. >>>> The enemy is there to kill you. The enemy is there to win. You either destroy him and dictate terms or you lose. >>>> We teach diversity and inclusion as if they were ends in and of themselves. We worry about political correctness and sensitivity. We promote those who master group think and group speak. Fighters are nowhere to be seen. >>>> This is how you win. You destroy the enemy. >>>> We did none of these things. We have paid the price. The consequences in Afghanistan and the Middle East will be horrifying.

I’m sure the Taliban would gleefully do sex reassignment surgery on our soldiers if given the opportunity.

The Democrats have turned the military into a jobs program for freaks, trannys, and ne'er do wells.

We can protect our interests in Afghanistan, including the possibility of a terrorist threat re-emerging, without a large troop presence. That is what Joe Biden will do as president.

An eyewitness described the scene at Kabul airport to the BBC:

The departure hall turned into chaos after people said boarding passes were being printed secretly for officials and high-profile people who showed up at the airport.

I saw three former MPs, a few deputy ministers and some celebrities queuing up. Some didn’t even have a booking. We waited for almost eight hours, until airport staff started leaving their desks - first the check-in counters and then the migration and passport desks… different rumours created chaos. Some escaped from the airport and some rushed towards the gates.

No-one was in any of the passport check cabins and the QR scan doors were destroyed. There wasn’t a security check before getting to the gates.

We walked through and saw that the big glass doors between the gates and the airplanes were shattered. People ran towards the last plane (it seems the first plane, which was ours, was filled by officials and took off) and there was a second flight which people started to board.

It was almost a stampede.

We walked back and saw many hopeful passengers just sitting under the airplane near the runway. People were shocked and didn’t know what to do, running from one plane to the other.

We then walked towards the exit to get in the car. Armed men in plain clothes were guarding the airport.

People were very desperate, some were running towards the airport, some were escaping. In order to stop people from getting into the airport, the guards opened fire into the air.

When I was getting out, there was a guy shooting in the air. A few minutes away on the airport’s road, I saw several police vehicles left alone on the road with doors open.

I can still hear sporadic gunshots and helicopters.

‘Woke’ Gen. Mark Milley, in July: ‘Afghan Security Forces Have the Capacity to … Defend Their Country’

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley told reporters less than four weeks before the Taliban entered Kabul that the local military was fully capable of defending Afghanistan from the insurgent Islamic terrorist militia.

How did the IC miss this? How did the IC miss the Covid debacle that started in China around September, 2019? How did the IC miss the dangers of having almost 100% of our PPE and pharmaceuticals made in China? How is the IC missing the fact that most of the batteries for electrical vehicles are made and will be made in China?

How did the Military’s top Generals miss all the above? Ditto for the State Department? It seems only Trump and his team know what the heck is going on and willing to do what needs to be done.

Don’t get me started on the Southern Border. As far as I am concerned we need to Defund DC. DC incompetence is an existential threat to the survival of this country.

Failure of the military is what happens when you hunt down and excoriate patriotic warriors and men of good character while promoting queers, degenerates, social justice warriors and other assorted freaks who don’t know the muzzle from the butt of a gun and could not possibly care less.

Happy America? At least half of you are responsible for this disaster. The other half stood by and enjoyed their plush lives while it happened.

Lloyd Austin, pfft. Just another useful idiot that plays along to go where he only dreamed of before. But he is woke and that is all that matters. Woke and full of ridicule and hatred for anyone different than he is. Tell me the definition of racist again.

Special Forces warned the higher ups not to send troops into Afghanistan or only for a short time...

Yup, I remember that. Afghanistan was Special Forces territory. No infrastructure, a primitive tribal society, so what do we do? We nation build!
Seriously?

I hate to say this. I, me, could have done a better job then these dumb ass progressive neocon elites. I am dead serious. I would have fought the war with WW2
determination and will, NOT this Progressive Deep State, Industrial Military Complex National War College bull shit.

Exactly! We need to learn, how to fight to win!
Or We may be the ones having terms dictated to us.
As a matter of fact in 2001 we had a lot of allies in Afghanistan. The Northern Alliance controlled quite a part of the country and they were willing to fight.
But we ended up actually protecting Taliban from the Alliance wrath!
Now we have nobody.

It's not just wokeness.

I believe that our wars and military exist largely for the benefit of private contractors. War profiteers.

Nation building is expensive. So are consultants and suppliers. Halliburton, Blackwater, and other well-connected insiders, feasted on the Iraq and Afghan war budgets.

The Left is right about that. War is big business. The goal being not to win, but to extend the fighting as long as possible.
