It is the beginning of a never-ending bad dream. Joe Biden and the Pentagon have managed to birth a new terrorist haven, destroy much of U.S. strategic deterrence, and alienate our allies and much of the country.
In the hours after the horrific deaths of 13 service members, we have been reassured by our military that our partnership with the Taliban to provide security for our flights was wise. We were told that the terrorist victors share similar goals to ours in a hasty American retreat from Kabul. We were reminded that Afghan refugees (unlike U.S. soldiers) will not be forced to be vaccinated on arrival. Such statements are either untrue or absurd.
On the very day of the attack that killed American troops, the sergeant major of the U.S. Army reminded us in a tweet that diversity is our strength, commemorating not the dead but Women's Equality Day. If so, then is the opposite of diversity -- unity -- our weakness? Will such wokeness ensure that we do not abandon the Bagram air base in the middle of the night without opposition?
The chief of staff at the Office of Naval Intelligence warned the ONI's active duty and retired service members that they must not criticize Biden, their commander in chief, over the Afghanistan fiasco. The office correctly cited prohibitions found in the Uniform Code of Military Justice barring any disrespect shown to senior government leadership.
Indeed, a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Marine Corps was relieved of his command for posting a video accurately blaming military and civilian leadership for the Afghanistan nightmare.
Yet until Jan. 20, retired top brass had constantly smeared their elected commander in chief with impunity.

They are ALL CORRUPT and INCOMPETENT!!!!
AND ALL DEMOCRATS! Perfumed Princes that care about women’s Maternity Flight Suits and paying for any Transgender operations that people want!
AMEN!!!!~
Germany didn’t just decide to be evil in 1932. It took years for the reality of their situation to become apparent.
That’s us. We are the Third Reich. We aren’t the Good Guys anymore. Sure, we haven’t invaded France (yet) and we haven’t started killing the Jews (but we have aborted 60 million babies). But we are clearly on the wrong path. And we’re not voting our way out of this.
POS general wanting a Life Magazine style historical photo.
I believe this was the same guy who scolded theUK commander for “making him look bad” by going outside the wire to rescue UK nationals.

Modern Millie at your ‘service.’
Thank you, Captain Obvious!
We have been watching the top ranks of our military be “cleansed” of warriors who are replaced with spineless political hacks for decades now.
The assault on our military has been nonstop. Remember Tailhook?
Forcing political correctness on our military has been nonstop and nobody has slowed it.
Meanwhile, our military keeps losing war after war because they follow the “don’t create any bad news” orders over “swift victory” orders.
So, this dumb author is just saying something that has been happening for decades and will not end with a strongly worded article.
Obama may well have created his “million man” army for change through systematic purge of the officer corps. Ideology now trumps traditional military skills. Now under Biden, the rank and file is being purged.
The problem was 8 years of Obama promotions.
Victor Davis Hanson says you’re welcome.
I don’t even bother reading articles like this anymore. At some point people just have to be intelligent and responsible enough not to join such a dysfunctional, corrupt organization.
They are ALL CORRUPT and INCOMPETENT!!!!

I was first advised that “diversity is strength” 25 years ago when I was employed by the VA. We had these re-education sessions led by a diminutive black lesbian who looked like a boy. So this is not news, VDH, but welcome to the party.
Maybe he can help McConnell write a strong letter about our military also.
It will change as much as this article.
