Ret. Army Gen. McMaster blames media for Afghanistan crisis, slams overall coverage
July 09, 2021 Liz George
H.R. McMaster, former United States National Security Advisor and retired United States Army lieutenant general, attacked the U.S. media’s lack-of Afghanistan War coverage Thursday, accusing the media of helping create what he believes will be a “humanitarian catastrophe” in the Middle Eastern nation.
“US media is finally reporting on the transformation of Afghanistan after their disinterest and defeatism helped set conditions for capitulation and a humanitarian catastrophe,” McMaster tweeted, linking to a Wall Street Journal report on how withdrawing troops from Afghanistan is impacting Afghanis and opening the door for Taliban forces.
The general’s comments come after the White House noted there would not be a “’Mission Accomplished’ moment” after the final troops are withdrawn from Afghanistan.

I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

The media lost Vietnam, too, with the help of some complicit politicians and communists rioting in the streets.
Sound familiar?
Those who won't learn from History, repeat it.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
