The fatal failure of Gen. Mark A. Milley over closing Bagram Air Base
New York Post ^ | August 29, 2021 | Post Editorial Board

Gen. Mark A. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, must go.

President Biden claims that the military advised him to close Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan and instead use Kabul’s airport to evacuate Americans. They were the ones who said the Afghan army would hold, that the pullout would go smoothly.

If Biden is telling the truth, this disaster is on Milley’s watch. Or Biden is lying (the more likely scenario, based on what sources inside the administration are saying) and Milley failed to do his duty and push back against a commander-in-chief who is making deadly decisions. Either way, he is derelict in his duty

Milley is just one of many.

He won't go. Only lower ranks who demand accountability from their superiors will go. When you politic your way to Milley's level, there is no accountability.

Milley is incompetent. Period. The prison at Ft. Leavenworth has plenty of room for this fool and Adm Kirby, Austin, and other failures.

This may or not be fake news. Both the military and the White House puppeteers are desperate to shift the blame.

Frankly, there’s plenty to go around. Fire ‘em all, I say.

It’ll never even get started until after November 2022, of course.

If we live that long.

Prepping never looked so sensible.

Was it a failure or was it planned this way. I am really believing it was planned. Following instructions of the CCP

The important question no one has answered - did we get the rainbow flag that had flown over the embassy out of the country?

The incoming Biden team REFUSED to meet with outgoing Trump team to discuss / learn what the Afghanistan exit plan was, what strategic conditions were agreed upon and what was already in place. They wanted nothing to do with anything Trump had planned or done. The resulting cluster**** is the result strictly political posturing and America is / will suffer for it. What the heck is Biden and his group of merry men doing still in office????

Milley deserves a lot of grief over the debacle in Afghanistan, but I'm not convinced that he's responsible for the abandonment of Bagram.

From everything I've read on the topic, Bagram had reached the point where it could not be readily defended with such a small force of military personnel in Afghanistan. The airport is something like 25 miles north of Kabul, and the logistics -- and dangers -- of evacuating thousands of people out of Kabul over that distance was pretty much impossible with such a small armed force in the country.

This one is all on Biden, not his military advisors.
