Secretary Austin and General Mark Milley should resign immediately

Sec. Austin and Gen. Milley's behavior led to the collapse of the Afghanistan military and government.

We saw Joe Biden's horrible press conference. Sixty-nine percent of American disapprove of how he handled the recent debacle in Afghanistan. Who else was involved in this disaster? The first domino to fall in Afghanistan was caused by secretary of defense Lloyd Austin and chairman of Joint Chief of Staff General Mark Milley. According to the AP on July 6, 2021:

The U.S. left Afghanistan's Bagram Airfield after nearly 20 years by shutting off the electricity and slipping away in the night without notifying the base's new Afghan commander, who discovered the Americans' departure more than two hours after they left, Afghan military officials said.

The Afghan commander of Bagram Airfield tried to put a good face on the sudden withdrawal in the middle of the night, but it set the stage for the collapse of the Afghan military and the Taliban blitzkrieg in Afghanistan. Suddenly, the Afghan military that trusted us realized there would be no orderly withdrawal of American military forces. They could not even count on the Americans to leave the electricity on for the Afghan military as the American vanished into the night. The dominoes started falling quickly and soon led to Saigon 2.0 in Kabul.

Timelines are important. On June 23, 2021, less than two weeks before deserting our Afghan allies in the middle of the night, Sec. Austin and Gen. Milley testified before Congress. U.S. rep. Seth Wilbur Moulton, former Marine Corps officer, specifically asked both Sec. Austin and Gen. Milley about evacuation plans. Rep. Moulton made several poignant comments:

As we withdraw from Afghanistan, we have not seen an operational plan to save our brave Afghan partners and allies.

Should be fired. By Trump because he should still be in office.

Who knows? Maybe it’s the Congressional Medal of Wokeness. 🤗

Austin and Milley are too busy promoting homosexuality and transgenderism in the military ranks to be bothered with serious threats to our national security. Oh wait... they say the most serious threat to our national security is White Supremacists, and they're working on that night and day.

Our enemies all over the world are laughing their assess off and thanking their gods for the total idiots now leading the United States. For many decades they flailed in their attempts to destroy America, and now look at their good fortune... America is being destroyed from within.

“”We saw Joe Biden’s horrible press conference.””

We did? I didn’t see anything that resembled a press conference.

Why are we trying to protect the TLAs from the very Dems that used them to get Trump? The Intelligence Agencies defied Trump’s orders and that was a good thing. Now they follow Biden’s directives, it’s a disaster and we try to accept their cya.
The Afghanistan results are not a bug, it’s a feature. Thank you, CIA. /s

“Idi Amin, Jr and “Silly Milley” should end up in Leavenworth!”

Why should we have to pay for their upkeep until they die? Offer them a choice:
a) your family will keep your assets if you hang, or
b) go to jail but everything you own will be forfeited.

Option ‘b’ allows for re-payment of three hots and a cot for the duration.
