Milley argued that resigning in protest would have been a “political act,” and that the president has no obligation to agree with his military advice. “It would be an incredible act of political defiance for a commissioned officer to just resign because my advice is not taken,” Milley said. “This country doesn't want generals figuring out what orders we are going to accept and do or not. That's not our job.”

Milley added that his decision was also informed by the experience of his father, who fought at Iwo Jima.

“[My father] didn’t get a choice to resign,” Milley said. “Those kids there at Abbey Gate, they don’t get a choice to resign,” Milley said, referring to the 13 American service members who died during the evacuation from Kabul in late August when an ISIS-K suicide bomber detonated an explosive vest. “They can't resign so I'm not going to resign. There's no way.”


Well, have to agree that you shouldn't resign in a pout because a prez isn't taking your advice.

You should resign because you were incompetent in doing your d*mn job, and if you listen hard enough you can hear those 'kids on Abbey gate' yelling it from the hereafter.

“Seneca said something like it. About Tacitus, IIRC.”

Something else Kennedy said (or repeated) in the speech he was to give, but for being assassinated:

“God’s work here on earth must truly be our own”

In answering questions from Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) about his advice, McKenzie said he would not share his “personal recommendation” to the president.

Surprised Inhofe was sober enough to say anything....

The RINO has been around too long...and should medically resign.

There will be satellite photos of the massive occupation and deployment to the Bagram Air Force Base, by the PLA. I doubt if the American intelligence services will share them with us, as it proves Biden’s complicity with Xing Ping Pong’s reach for regional hegemony, but there are always leaks, as we have seen innumerable times before.

Is was not an “evacuation”, to be congratulated in its speed and scope, but a rapid forced RETREAT, Where hundreds, perhaps thousands of American citizens were left behind. Someone should hang from the yardarm on this one.

We went from 13,000 to 2500 under President Trump. Any further reduction was totally conditional.

The double standard and hypocrisy of our media never fails to amaze me.

Most of what people think right now (including many on FR) has been very carefully misguided, by perverted and hard left controlled theater.

Milley stripped Trump of CIC civilian control of our nuclear weapons, and ordered tens of thousands of troops into DC, to cordon off DC *AND the Pentagon, while Trump was still lawfully CIC in office.

*In retrospect, this likely well did have to do with Milley’s fear of Trump’s SecDef (Miller) having SOCOM rightly and justifiably raid/arrest the Pentagon Chiefs of Staff, for UNconstitutionally and treasonously acting to strip Trump of his Constitutionally derived responsibility as civilian CIC.

This is a blatantly left wing, strategically contrived conspiracy, involving numerous offices (including political = including Pelosi), and a full violation of the entirety of UCMJ Article 10, and all subsections.

As an American loving patriot with total sharp mental capacity, and all physical capacity, Trump had been wrongly and treasonously been relieved as CIC, of all command, (ex SOCOM) with crucial and potentially dangerous time left in office, well before the inauguration.

In reality, rather than Trump being the potential danger in acting against Ameeicas best interest with China, it was Pelosi’s hard left DNC and Uniparty, AND Milley who conspired with China (and other key governments), to treasonously eliminate US Constitutional government and elections, and it was Pelosi’s hard left which conspired and utilized CV19 take it happen. Even Pelosi’s phone call with Milley was fake designed cover theater, for public psyop consumption purposes.

By the bookq, Trump even had CIC responsibility well after the fake puppet inauguration theater.

The DOD then used the troops as props for the socialist deep state fake dimentia puppet Biden inauguration.

Pelosi and Schumer thought it all entertainment that Trump wasn’t able to call the shots, until I believe in March, Pelosi and Schumer went to Milley ((NOT BIDEN OR HARRIS)), and requested troop withdrawal from DC, and Milley basically blew them off, reportedly telling them the Pentagon was on its own timetable.

Let that all sink in...

So who was really acting CIC, since at least a couple of months before the inauguration ???

But tonight, I expect to hear on the MSM news that they have finally figured out who should get Covid booster shots, and when, and that the CDC and FDA and the White House are now in agreement that only 98% vaccination rate is needed for “herd immunity”, but masks are forever.....

Grand global socialist deep state puppet Buyden, is flat out not calling, or even understanding anything.

Somebody is lying. None of these military men stepped up to the plate to stop the moronic Biden “administration” moves of giving Taliban Bagram by running away, and giving Taliban Billions if not Trillions worth of advanced military equipment and weapons. Meanwhile we know Milley was in touch with China about Jan 6 - probably was in touch with China about Afghanistan too.

Traitor Milley
Be advised, we got zips in the wire down here

There is no apparent penalty for lying to the press, but lying to congress could land you in the hoosegow — not that democraps would do that to a fellow traveler.
