"Perhaps you'd prefer to avoid the red tape."
Whose responsibility was it in planning for the entire war effort. Why is this parade general still employed?
I wonder if Milley understands how bad, with each word he utters, he makes the military/political class look.
Well, general….who was in charge of the training???
I think the big lesson here is don’t throw money at a problem thinking it fixes it
Just how much of the billions we poured into Afghanistan ended up in contractors and US Politician’s pockets instead?
Well for one thing it’s hard to have an Army when 3/4 of them are high all the time.
All this little creepy fag has is hindsight because that’s where his head is.
” the big lessons learned here is “ milley and the boiz are not only incompetent, they also have an alternate agenda.
.
The Crusade in Afghanistan was doomed to failure due to no effort to exterminate Islam in country.
The real possibility of that happening should not have surprised professional military people.
He was also asked “are we safer today?”... He said that he foresees terrorists becoming stronger within a year.
“Not designed properly”
I’ll say. They weren’t schooled in woke. They weren’t taught how to understand white rage. They weren’t taught how to root out white extremism from their ranks. They probably didn’t even have any CRT training. I doubt they read any of Milley’s recommended Marxist book collection. Worst of all, I doubt they even have maternity flight suits.
No wonder they were useless.
They abruptly and without warning withdrew our air support - what did they expect to happen? That was like pulling the rug out from under their feet. Biden Admin didn’t even make adjustments after observing the way things changed on the ground and just watched the chaos grow...and grow...and grow.
When you take the training wheels of the kid’s bike, you keep an eye on them and help them until they are able to adjust and ride fully without them. Then they can adjust on their own and survive on their own.
Biden abandoned them and broke our (the US’s) word. Period.
“Lessons learned”? Any buffoon would know that a chaotic, abrupt withdrawal would be a total disaster.
No- they s**t themselves and ran, stopping only long enough to drop their rifles.

“The Army itself – the army and the police forces were a mirror image in many ways – and we created and developed forces that looked like Western forces,” Milley explained. “I think one of the big lessons learned here is maybe those forces were not designed appropriately for the type of mission.”
No sh!t, Sherlock. This was known years ago by most people paying attention. It’s not like they didn’t have Iraq 10 years ago for an example.
CLUSTERFUCK! GENERAL! CLUSTERFUCK!
Somewhere a 19 year old Lance Corporal will receive NJP this week for losing his bayonet, effectively ending his career.
Meanwhile, this turd will retire with a handsome pension.
Well ... at least we learned a lesson. I have absolutely no military training and I knew the Afghan Army could not hold without US air support and logistics backup.
We will find out if lessons have really been learned come next years election.
WTF. This guy is the epitome of the statement, “Better to remain silent and let people think you are stupid, than say something and remove all doubt.”
