Top military officials on Tuesday testified that they assessed that the U.S. should maintain a presence of at least 2,500 troops in Afghanistan, with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin admitting that their input was "received" by President Biden, despite Biden's claims to the contrary.

Austin, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley, and head of U.S. Central Command Gen. Kenneth McKenzie appeared before the Senate Armed Services Committee Tuesday for a public hearing on the Biden administration's chaotic military withdrawal from Afghanistan.

McKenzie and Milley both testified that they recommended maintaining a presence of U.S. troops in Afghanistan.

It is now abundantly clear, based on the responses at the Armed Service Committee, that Biden was unanimously advised by our top military brass to leave at least 2,500 military service personnel and, further, that the Afghan government would collapse

The POTUS is the CIC and apparently the POTUS-CIC made the decision to deny the recommendations for any continued U.S. presence, pushing back U.S. eyes on Afghan grown terrorism to bases in the Persian Gulf region, with no humint in Afghanistan. No one is convinced that will thwart either the Taliban or their mutually violent jihadist friends.

Is Nancy Pelosi Pulling Gen Milleys Strings_-


It Was a Coup: Pelosi Was the One Who Pressured Milley to Take Action Against Trump

So, in other words, Pelosi was indeed fomenting a coup with the military against Trump, and Milley actually took concrete steps to interfere with that presidential authority.

They were committing the very insurrection/coup of which they accused Trump.

Will the GOP finally act on this?

This is intolerable and completely unconstitutional.

“How were we to know that civilians should have been evacuated before the military?”

I realize there are high up puppeteers, but I’m looking for the day to day one. I think with all the legal entanglements of Hunter and Joe you need to find the handler of AG Merrick Garland.

Who is lying, Biden or these generals? I will give you 3 guesses. My guess is it is not the generals. What does your common sense tell you?

There are three possible situations at play:

1. Austin and the generals are lying and never gave Biden such advice. In this case they committed perjury and should be fired/incarcerated.

2. They did so advise Biden, but he ignored them, and Biden must be impeached for his malfeasance and murderous order to withdraw.

3. They did so advise Biden, but he was too addled to listen, and Biden must be removed under the 25th Amendment.

Biden thinking he is smartest in the room and his stubbornness is 10X worse than his dementia.

Jill Biden could put a stop to all of this and she is equally to blame.
