“If only Trump wasn’t so evil that we had to spend every waking minute trying to remove him from the presidency rather than attend to important matters elsewhere.” /s

This is barely believable..

By barely, you mean not at all. This lying and or stupid bag of crap needs to be courtmartialed.

They could have followed the Taliban on Twitter.

Absolute F’ing Lie! His only nuance to save his ass is that he specifically said “11 days” which is what his lawyer would use to keep him out of jail

“There was nothing that I or anyone else saw that indicated a collapse in 11 days.”

Weird, because everyone in the non-lefty wing of the media were predicting this very thing a month ago.

“Time to demote the D.C. chair warmer generals and S**t can them and place competent ones and impeach Biden before we all have our a$$e$ in a sling.”

BLM could have handled this better.

Well, the Pentagon guy the other night said, "it is 8,000 miles away, we can’t know what is really going on there....".

How far away are Russia's and China's launch sites?

Maybe if they weren’t looking for white supremists and Trump supporters in the ranks they might have seen this coming.

This guy is a perfumed prince, a parade-ground show-horse who should be put out to pasture immediately.

Then he is a total incompetent. At the very least they should have been gettin citizens out days earlier and if Biden wouldn’t agree to it he should have resigned. The fat creep ran over everyone to get to a camera to denounce Trump.but he “vus youst following orders” now?

They couldn’t see it because they were looking for “extremists” in their own ranks. This is what happens when militaries become political, they fail.

Then he admits his incompetence. If he had any honor, he would retire.

Admiral Kimmel was relieved after Pearl Harbor.

“If Kimmel had a weakness, it was that he was a creature of habit, of routine. He knew only what had been done before, and lacked imagination—and therefore insight—regarding the unprecedented.”

Seems like Milley is wired the same way. Losing has consequences.

If you can’t do your job, and you’re that incompetent, you should resign, you worthless a**hole.

(Milley, not you RandFan).

Maybe this fat fool would have seen the Taliban’s “rapid rise to power” if he wasn’t wasting his time and the taxpayer’s money pushing that idiotic Critical Race Theory, searching for nonexistent racists in the military, and calling President Trump and his supporters “Nazis.”

Oh, how I wish I were the president. I would call Milley, Austin, and a whole lot of others into the Oval Office and I would be yelling in their faces like a Parris Island drill instructor. Next, I would yell, “You’re FIRED!”

Wow

How stupid is this guy...(rhetorical...)

I saw this coming no matter who was president when we pulled out.

I’m not blaming Slo-Joe either.

This thing was FUBAR from the beginning.

We should have laid waste to the place and left

Thing is, we have to somehow keep Moscow and Tehran from completing their decades long vision of a pipeline between the two countries and now that everyone recognizes there are valuable things in the ground that China wants control over, I’m not sure what we can or could do
