General Milley is a pawn. Afghanistan was a designed distraction

Our Military has been run by PC/MC. Our state dept. is trash.
We need real leaders.

There are CIA reports that say Milley is lying.

“Did I hear Milley say that something like… We will do everything we can for as long as we can to get our people out of Afghanistan?”

If you’re referring to this afternoon’s “presser,” I believe that was SECDEF Austin; however, yes, that was my impression. Basically, he said they would continue operations until they ran out of time or resources ...not very encouraging, to say the least!

Thanks for the info. I only heard a few minutes on my car radio. What an incompetent, evil, traitorous bunch.

I was there in 2007. I could have told him. Any enlisted guy or company grade officer I know who was there could have told him.

He should resign. He won’t be fired because he was, after all, just doing Uncle Joe’s will. But if there was justice, he’d be flown to Kabul and handed over to the Taliban.

He’s an idiot.

Biden’s woke generals did not see the obvious.

Milley Vanilli is just following the party line. He knows if If he puts any of this bungling on the White House he will be gone instantly.

Not surprising in a way: the military and intel agencies have been cultivating a culture of ass kissing for at least a couple of decades, always telling the politicians whatever they think they wanted to hear.

I'm sure those lower down the food chain understood that the cabal running the White House and their top brass yes-men wanted to bugger out, so they told them, "no problem."

Milley has the appearance of a cross dresser. No doubt wears woman’s panties and fish net stockings under that uniform.

How can anyone salute that homosexual cretin?

I should have added that a darker alternative is that the military knew this would descend into a s-- show and told the junta, "no problem," knowing it would blow up in their faces.

They didn't want to withdraw, and having gotten used to blowing off Trump for four years, decided this would be their revenge on Biden.

If Gemeral Mark Milley had any intestinal fortitude, he would back sendinfg troops back in with all the force necessary to convince these slobs that they cannot get away with this violation of their agreement on our troup withdrawal. We should go back in like we did at Normandy and demand capitulation for peace sake. If we do not get it, we should start shooting to inforce our intent until we do. We are strong enough to do this and we should. General Milley should be removed if he objects. This is the only solution to the prroblem.

Someone has hacked the Wilmington billboard system! Actual billboard.

Not hacked. Someone purchased the ad space anonymously for two weeks.

Actually bought two billboards.

Lying about having no idea is cowardice.

“Lying about having no idea is cowardice.”

It’s like that saying that pretending to be stupid is also stupid. He’s admitting to being incompetent by lying. There’s no good answer for these creeps.

When I worked in a high level management job and we were involved in risk management we always had someone whose job it was to think of the off the wall considerations. That’s just basic risk management.

Did these West Point clowns miss that class?


Because they don't have that class - their job is to feed the sharks up the food chain whatever it is they want. Doesn't matter if it's stupid, insane or completely irrational.

Just because an order is LEGAL, doesn't mean that it makes any rational sense at all.
