Milley: ‘What You Saw Unfold’ with Afghanistan Evacuation Was One of the Plans, ‘There Was an Extensive Amount of Planning in This’
Breitbart ^ | September 4, 2021 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 09/04/2021 6:17:08 PM PDT by White Lives Matter

During an interview with Fox News National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin aired on Saturday’s “Fox Report,” Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley said that the speed of the collapse of Afghanistan’s military and government was a surprise, and “what you saw unfold with this noncombatant evacuation operation was one of the contingency plans.” And “There was an extensive amount of planning in this.”

Milley said, [relevant remarks begin around 2:20] “I think a couple of things. One, is the collapse of the Afghan Army happened at a much faster rate and very unexpected, by pretty much everybody, and then with that is the collapse of the Afghan government. So, that was definitely a surprise. But I will say that there was an awful lot of planning done, ROC drills, rehearsals, etc. And what you saw unfold with this noncombatant evacuation operation was one of the contingency plans. And the speed at which it was executed, the flow of the aircraft, we had planes taking off every 30 to 45 minutes or so. We had — we brought in 7,000 — or 6,000 U.S. troops, and then there [were] about a thousand or more or so Afghan troops that secured HKIA. The first day, it was clearly chaotic, no question about it. You saw that on video, etc. But within about 24 hours, that settled down and it became a much more orderly process.

Fat slobbering son-of-a-bitch.

Lying about what he said and did while drooling over his next meal and paycheck.

Who is the faggot “Milley” and how did he reach the rank of general?

Hopefully sooner. He needs to rid the military of everyone above the rank of Major/Lt. Commander. Almost all are compromised. The “Woke” Stalinazis need to be flown to and dropped over Venezuela without parachutes.

Wipe your butt, then cr@p.

Close the toilet lid, THEN urinate.

It's the Milley way.

Almost sounds like Milley is rooting for the Taliban (regarding the regional battle that is continuing)

“ U.S. General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, underscored the tenuous situation.
“My military estimate is, is that the conditions are likely to develop of a civil war. I don’t know if the Taliban is going to be able to consolidate power and establish governance,” Milley said.
Speaking to Fox News from Ramstein Air Base in Germany, Milley said if they cannot that will “in turn lead to a reconstitution of Al Qaeda or a growth of ISIS or other myriad of terrorist groups” over the next three years.”

That’s what the Fox interviewer should have said to him.

They can’t do Jack unless they are stealing others technology. That’s all they are good at is imitating. Even in this article they said they would have stolen nuclear weapons technology to win wwii instead of saying they would have learned a way to win independently. With their own noggin. They are proud of their history. That’s fine. But, in my eyes they are worthless frauds. Zero respect for their lack of intelligence.

Just not very good planning.

“This is what ‘extensive planning’ looks like.”

What an incompetent idiot.

But it should not have surprised, given Biden and the politburo that operates him.
