Almost 90 Retired Flag Officers Demand Mark Milley, Lloyd Austin Resign After Afghanistan Debacle

Nearly 90 retired U.S. generals and admirals penned an open letter asking Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley to resign from their positions following their “negligence in performing their duties primarily involving events surrounding the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.”

“As principal military advisors to the CINC [Commander-in-Chief]/President, the SECDEF and CJCS should have recommended against this dangerous withdrawal in the strongest possible terms,” the letter states. “If they did not do everything within their authority to stop the hasty withdrawal, they should resign. Conversely, if they did do everything within their ability to persuade the CINC/President to not hastily exit the country without ensuring the safety of our citizens and Afghans loyal to America, then they should have resigned in protest as a matter of conscience and public statement.”

This “hasty retreat,” the letter continues, not only left thousands of vulnerable Americans and Afghan allies stranded at the hands of the Taliban but also contributed to the “catastrophic” loss of “billions of dollars in advanced military equipment and supplies falling into the hands of our enemies.”

“The consequences of this disaster are enormous and will reverberate for decades beginning with the safety of Americans and Afghans who are unable to move safely to evacuation points; therefore, being de facto hostages of the Taliban at this time. The death and torture of Afghans has already begun and will result in a human tragedy of major proportions,” the letter says. “The damage to the reputation of the United States is indescribable. We are now seen, and will be seen for many years, as an unreliable partner in any multinational agreement or operation. Trust in the United States is irreparably damaged.”

This damaged trust, the retired generals and admirals argue, gives confidence to U.S. enemies who “are emboldened to move against America due to the weakness displayed in Afghanistan.”

“China benefits the most followed by Russia, Pakistan, Iran, North Korea and others. Terrorists around the world are emboldened and able to pass freely into our country through our open border with Mexico,” the letter states.

The letter also points out how military leadership’s focus on “wokeness” is hurting the viability of U.S. troops and the military as an institution.

“In interviews, congressional testimony, and public statements it has become clear that top leaders in our military are placing mandatory emphasis on PC ‘wokeness’ related training which is extremely divisive and harmful to unit cohesion, readiness, and war fighting capability,” the letter says. “Our military exists to fight and win our Nation’s wars and that must be the sole focus of our top military leaders.”

“For these reasons we call on the SECDEF Austin and the CJCS General Milley to resign,” it concludes. “A fundamental principle in the military is holding those in charge responsible and accountable for their actions or inactions. There must be accountability at all levels for this tragic and avoidable debacle.”

Over the last week, multiple GOP lawmakers called on President Joe Biden to resign for “dereliction of duty that has left Americans dead at the hands of terrorists.”

Add McKenkie and if the reports are correct that he turned away buses of American citizens, Donahue.

I was a lowly company grade, can I add my voice?

***..suppress reports of Americans and allies being hunted down, tortured and executed.***

When Khartoum fell to the Mahdi in 1885, and the subsequent massacre of the population, it drew Britain right back into the Sudan war for another 20 years.

Don’t be surprised if we suddenly start seeing photos of Americans massacred, and demands to go back in.

Thanks for the reminder.

They won’t resign. They have no principles and they like their medals and stripes.

[Starstruck]

They should emulate the Japanese Officer’s final resignation in disgrace. You expect your men to give their lives to the country. We expect the same from you. When you needlessly throw away lives that effect families, fellow servicemen, allies and this Country we expect contrition and retribution.

Like always, despite the demands, it will blow over and no one will be punished or resign - ask Hillary.

Were these the same Aholes who trashed Trump for four years and helped their deep state goons select their butt boy BiteMe the so-called “adults” could be in charge again? Where have they been for twenty years?

[hinckley buzzard]

Iran benefits because now they do not have an American intelligence and military presence on their doorstep. And an airbase from which drone strikes and other hostile air actions are at close range.

[Leep]

How about 90 retired special forces take them out in cuffs and leg irons..at say 6 am in the morning?
I’d pay to see that.

Didn’t the ONI send them their letter threatening to confiscate their pensions?

China is making the decisions for the White House now. Oddly enough, PFizer is China's 'stalking horse' with which it seizes sovereign assets and that includes military bases, military hardware, and I fear it means Biden is promising China hostages.

I believe the bizarre but true information emerging about Pfizer 'requiring sovereign assets' including tax payer dollars and miltary bases from countries who fail to adhere to every feature of the 'vaccine' contracts.

I believe that China has 70 CCP members on PFizer's Investment board because Pfizer is just a face for China.

I believe Sleepy Joe missed his contract requirement to deliver 70% of the US population vaccinated  To CHina/PFizer and so the military base voted most likely to be given to Pfizer is...Bahgram, Afghanistan, along with all the weapons and equipement we left for them, and sadly, many hostages.

With Afghanistan now under their control, China has no obstruction in the Middle East and their 'Silk Road' initiative to overtake and crush economic competion leaps forward. It's all so bizarre but what I mention all has evidence.

Afghanistan = Biden's payment due (to China) for Covid 'vaccines'.

Some stunning information about the Covid Vaccine FRAUD and China.

I encourage all to skim to the transcript here, and the table of CCP at the bottom of the thread

NEXT: How this may tie into Afghanistan:

Could explain Biden's desparation to get 70% by July etc. He missed his deadline?

Could explain why PFizer abruptly licensed by FDA.

Could explain alot -  deal made by Biden in June 2020 per rumor?
Leaving all those weapons behind - more 'payment' for China's Pfizer contract with Biden?

 

Page 24. Part 9.4 discusses the sovereign assets in the contract should anyone want to see it for themselves.
