America's 'No Accountability' Military
By Doris O'Brien
Looking like oversized versions of Tweedledum and Tweedledee, Generals Lloyd Austin and Mark Milley lumbered onto the stage for a press conference a couple of days after the U.S. military debacle brought the 20 years' war in Afghanistan to an ignominious end.
In girth, they might be considered imposing figures. General Austin seems perpetually clothed in black, which has become the fashion statement for the Biden-Harris administration. General Mark "Thoroughly Unmodern" Milley all but bursts out of his old khaki-colored uniform, festooned with row upon row of military ribbons that add even more weight to his persona. Big bags under his piercing eyes give him an ominous appearance.
Shambling General Austin — or let's just call him "General," as Biden does — seems to be lower-key, answering questions with what appears to be a sense of weariness. In sum, both brass bigwigs come across as a tad tarnished and unfit for duty — as though the last battle they waged took place, say, during the War of 1812.
Far be it from me, perhaps, to criticize men who have served their country as a career. On the other hand, far be it from them to feel themselves above criticism by those who have not.
