TOWNHALL on Gen. Mark Milley and co: "Rip those stars off your pathetic nostalgia costumes and resign"
Townhall ^ | Aug 27 | Kurt Schlichter

Rip those stars off your pathetic nostalgia costumes and resign. Quit. Tell that crusty Pinocchio in the White House and the faculty lounge Geppettos tugging his strings that you will have no more to do with his human centipede of failure in Kabul.

It’s not hard – your stars are right there, generals, right on the shoulders of those new uniforms you decided to adopt with the express purpose of evoking World War II and the memory of victory over a modern, peer-competitor military. Maybe, you thought, wearing winner’s gear would ease the pain of getting creamed by a bunch of Seventh Century throwbacks.

Yeah, we know your boss is a senile old fool with delusions of competence. His failure will be addressed at the ballot box. But your failure, generals and admirals, is something only you can address, at least until President DeSantis comes and separates the wheat from the chaff in the Pentagon.

Yeah, we know, you have to follow the orders of the civilian authorities – though not if it’s Trump, since he was not part of the in-crowd you aspired to join as adjunct military members. Your passive-aggressive mutiny against the guy the American people elected set back civil-military relations 250 years. You took the one institution most Americans still trusted and turned it into a roiling cauldron of hot garbage.

He is the product of continually promoting ass-kissing, woke Yes-Men!

Ever notice that one of the things that losing sports teams love to do is change their uniforms to include a ‘throwback’ style? This is sorta that.

The one thing I would not criticize Miley for is the uniform. Army blues make him look like the Chief of a VFD which is an insult to the fine men and women who serve as volunteer fire-fighters.

But the problem is that the fight is not in the uniform, but in the soldier, and obviously we have few fighting men wearing 4-stars these days. What idiot would choose Kabul Airport over Bagram as the place of exit.

Didn’t shoulder pads go out of style in like 1988?

It’s “Springtime for Biden” and they’re the chorus line. I bet Milly shaves his legs.

I wonder if Milley Mouse has that “white rage” that he is always talking about?

Response from General Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff:

I am the very model post-modern 4-star General
I’ve information political, racial, and genderal,
I can quote our defeat from every fight historical
From Saigon to Kabul in order categorical;
I’m very well acquainted with matters mathematical,
I understand equations, especially the racially equitable,
Because Black Lives Matter, and whites simply deplorable.
I’m very well informed in all things Islamical,
But, unlike myself, I find that they are not very comical.

I know our mythic history before the fathers of our founding;
that ere the white man came it was rather pleasant sounding.
I know that 1619 marks the beginning of our history,
and that the US is really a story of racist misery.
I know that gays and women are historically oppressed,
And that an Army’s function is to see that is addressed.
In short, in matters political, racial, and genderal,
I am the very model post-modern 4-star General.

I understand the plight of those who are genderally confused;
I understand that little people are naturally bemused.
I understand our biggest threat consists of white rage,
And it’s politically correct to say so at this stage.
In short, in matters political, racial, and genderal,
I am the very model post-modern 4-star General.

In fact, when I know what is meant by “trixic” and Achillean”,
When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a Javelin,
When such affairs as sorties and surprises I’m more wary at,
And when I know precisely what is meant by “commissariat”
When I have learnt what progress has been made in modern gunnery,
When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery
In short, when I’ve a smattering of elemental strategy
You’ll say a better 4-star General has never sat a gee.

For my military knowledge, though I’m plucky and adventury,
Has only been brought down to the beginning of the century;
But still, in matters political, racial, and genderal,
I am the very model post-modern 4-star General.

(with apologies to Gilbert & Sullivan)

I would just observe that when physical contact is legislated out of NFL football that shoulder pads are just a fashion accessory that can be eliminated.

A disgrace.

Locally, I am seeing some flags start to return at half mast .

Some are flying upside down.

The original date was May 1st so the Pentagon should have had a plan in place by then. Even if Biden delayed the withdrawal there was no reason not to remove sensitive material from our command centers as well as begin shipping large equipment out.

The Pentagon owns this failure.

No apologies please, I’m thinking Gilbert and Sullivan would be quite pleased with the effort. So was I

We could probably fire 95+% of our flag officers and not only not be harmed by it, but be better for it.

Every part of our government is a clown show. Even if we somehow have a competent president, and even if he appoints competent cabinet officers (over the objections of careerist losers like McConnell), those cabinet officers have nothing but hordes of amoral, woke losers incapable of any actual work.

The Great Reset needs to actually happen in Washington. If you fired every last government employee and banned them from working for fedgov for life you would probably be taking the necessary first step in a return to some semblance of sanity.

We should fire all the generals, they are all Obama generals.

EVERY agency, including the military, was corrupted by the Kenyanesian Usurpation.

Ignoring the natural born citizen clause was a fatal mistake that BOTH parties participated in.
