Actually from these hearings I think some of the senators are trying to tell us stuff from closed hearings. Quite a few have mentioned Miller, and his recommendation to both Presidents Trump and Biden. From the way the questions were asked it sounds like people in the upper echelons of the military were keeping stuff from the executive branch.

They knew for months they were leaving, why wasn’t the ID information and the biometric information copied and sent to the US so we could identify people?

Good for Inhofe for reading into the record Trumps four (4) conditions for leaving Afghanistan which Inhofe points out that it had been stated today that Trump had no conditions.

Loser Generals who left Americans AND $85 BILLION dollars worth of weapons behind in Afghanistan... for the Taliban to use and the Chinese to ‘reverse engineer’.

Democrat will offer softballs for these ‘Reading Marx NOT studying Patton’ fools. Milley and Austin should be drummed out of ‘service’. Can’t win a war - kiss ‘elite’ butt - and hate the American people.

We don’t need this crap ‘protecting’ the country.

And the IRS should look into how Austin in living in a multi-million-dollar mansion...

.@SenTomCotton: "Why haven't you resigned?"

Gen. Milley: "It would be an incredible act of political defiance for a commissioned officer to just resign because my advice is not taken." He also says, "My dad didn't get a choice to resign at Iwo Jima." pic.twitter.com/7D4w3KUR03— CSPAN (@cspan) September 28, 2021

I wish someone would inform Millet that a sizable chunk of the American people despise him and want him to resign.

The senators may be telling us something but they need to do something about it. There is zero accountability in government because the entire system is corrupt IMHO.

Senators don’t like pulling on strings because they fear the “fabric” will unravel, and that could be bad for them and their friends. There’s so much corruption in the DC Swamp I don’t see how it ever gets fixed. Too many people have too much at stake to change it.

They put on shows but after the curtain closes its right back to the veil of secrecy that pervades Washington.

Because these 'Generals' are not capable of thinking two moves ahead...or because they don't give a damn - or because they get direct or indirect 'payoffs of some kind' from the Chinese... or Washington 'elites'...or someone. Who?

Irrational decisions were made. The question is 'why did those decisions look rational to the people involved' at the time... and what was the benefit in NOT seeing the obvious?

Biden says, *not* under oath, no one advised him to keep a presence in Afghanistan.

The top generals say, under oath before Congress, they advised Biden to leave 2,500 troops.

When the average American citizen has better strategic planning abilities than military leadership something is seriously wrong.

"General Milley & Secretary Austin admit Biden waited 10 days after Kabul fell to ask for an assessment on the August 31st deadline."

Unreal. So keep in mind, given this timeline for just the first weekend, that Milley & Austin are desperately throwing Biden under the bus now, even though Austin had argued out loud to the MSM on the 18th that the US lacked enough firepower and manpower to leave the airport to retrieve our US citizens. So somebody is lying, but they aren't protecting Biden by falling on their own sword, no sir!

You're right. It means they knew the right path and didn't take it. Reminds me of Benghazi when the militarily was saying they didn't have time to get to Benghazi - I looked up flight schedules out of Tampa International - turned out folks at MacDill had time to book a commercial flight to Benghazi and get there in time to assist.

Once again corrupt democrats will be kissing butt and helping make excuses.

Here's what we know - these insane decisions made sense to someone ... for reasons we don't understand...

Was that your white rage dad, Milley? Was dad woke enough for you to invoke his name and hide behind his service?

Even CNN hitting Biden hard

Biden’s claimed that “no one...that I can recall” advised against his withdrawal timeline:

CNN: “I don’t really think that’s going to be a solid defense...why would you not be able to recall?”
