90 retired generals and admirals call for Austin and Milley to resign immediately over the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal

Ninety retired military generals and admirals are demanding Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley resign

Calls for resignation 'based on negligence in performing their duties primarily involving events surrounding the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan'

Also said if Milley and Austin advised against withdrawal, they should have resigned if Biden didn't take their direction in protest of his leadership

Letter's signatories include Admiral John Poindexter, who served as President Ronald Reagan's national security adviser

House Rep. Ronny Jackson, the former top White House physician to Presidents Obama and Trump, is also a signatory to the letter

Jackson has previously called into question Biden's cognitive fitness for the job and demanded that he take a test similar to the one given to Trump

Comes after a Marine Lieutenant Colonel resigned after speaking out against his leadership for not pushing back against Biden's decisions in Afghanistan

The Pentagon announced Monday the last U.S. troops left Kabul

Only 90? General Milley has treason to commit, he doesn’t have time for all these distractions.

i predict that these flag officers will be recalled to duty so they can be court martialed.

of course, i’m not sure that can be done with someone who is retired? Anyone know?

The disturbing thing is that there are about 200 retired flag officers in this organization. Why didn’t they all sign the letter?

I don’t think everyone understands how the “retired flag officer game” works.

There are two kinds of retired Generals. Those who return home to their communities and gripe like the rest of us about the state of affairs

AND

Those who remain part of the swamp machine for the $$$$. Retired flag officers who toe the party line in DC are rewarded with very easy board positions or think-tank work that is very lucrative. They make a lot of money participating in the group think of DC.

We saw this in the election both in 2016 and throughout the Trump era where retired flag officers repeatedly criticized Trump or parroted media talking points despite the obvious fact that Trump was very pro-military and DID NOT get us involved in new conflicts.

Follow the money. The officers on this list are speaking from the heart with their honor intact. The DC retired class speaks to their own benefit because to tell the truth would result in them being cancelled.

Apparently, these 90 heroes didn't get the word. When their pension checks get cut off...BidenCo can use the money to cuddle the incoming Afghans.

Remember when Trump was President, this sort of thing would lead the nightly news. Now, I’m betting it doesn’t get mentioned.

There are some good men in that list. I remember when James Dozier was kidnapped by the Red Brigade.

These calls for resignation are all well and good. But these so-called leaders are not going to step down voluntarily.
