June 23, at budget request hearing, Austin was asked about saving Bagram but Milley needed to insert himself to say this.

"Bagram is not necessary, tactically or operationally for what we are going to try to do here with Afghanistan".

What a cop-out and stupid action as he knew that Biteme already broke the time-line deal Trump made with the Taliban for May 1st pullout. This pitiful PC woke idiot has no reason to be in his position, or even exist as far as I'm concerned. As an lowly E-6 in the Navy, I could read the tea leaves.

Sad that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff does not have the honor or decency to resign.

I think if the guy really had anything to him, he would not have gotten within a mile of the job.

Oh Lord, what a horribly bad military decision.
Awful!

but maybe the general did not anticipate that mr. Biden would fold like a cowardly chicken

"the fact that he dint even OFFER it, is very telling... and sickening"

Over on patriots.win, somebody posted a meme that featured a picture of General Eisenhower with a small row of medals on his chest, and General Milley with a thousand rows of medals on his chest. The point of the meme was that General Eisenhower won the war in Europe with only a few medals over his heart, while Milley and the rest of the pompous assholes in the Pentagon, have row upon row of medals, but aren't capable of winning any war. I couldn't find the meme again on patriots.win, but did come across it on a search:

Fagotry imposed like this will lose and kill people every time it is tried. This fagotry must end and these supposed leaders in DOD and State must be fired starting with Millie and Blinkin.

I just wrote my congressman.

“#1 Joe Biden needs to be removed from office, via the 25th Amendment or Impeachment, whichever is quickest. Let the Democrats deal with that trainwreck that is Kamala Harris.

#2 Gen Milley must resign or be brought up on Court Martial for the charges of either Gross Negligence, Incompetence, or Treason in his handling of the current Afghan situation. Yes, the US military is subservient to civilian authority. However, any competent, honorable military man would have strongly advised Biden, then privately protested to him and finally, if Biden ignored his advice, resigned rather than rubber-stamp Biden’s Exit “Plan”.”

It appears that most of his medals are either “I was there” or staff awards.

He does have “Bronze Star Medal with three bronze oak leaf clusters”. However, I once had a 3-star Army general tell me our team of tunnel rats “would get Bronze Stars and promotion to sergeant”. (that never happened)

His next personal decorations are :”Army Commendation Medal with four bronze oak leaf clusters; Army Achievement Medal with one bronze oak leaf cluster;”

There is no mention of the Combat V on any of the three medals. The photo is not sharp enough to tell.

Time for Patriots to rise up within the Pentagon and ranks. Purge the perfumed princes and princesses. If not now, when? We are arming our enemies, giving them hostages, handing them billions in $$$’s 100’s of Billions in weapons. Purge those treacherous in the government, and I mean all men and women without honor.

Court Martial the President, VP, and on down the line. IDK if it is extra-Constitutional. It is what must be done to preserve this country as founded.

Sharing intelligence with the enemy......TREASON.......

Sounds like a real coup to me.

Since your mother in law successfully raised at least one child, I’m assuming she would have done a MUCH better job than the Bidet “brain trust.”
