@txradioguy

It is a sad reflection on current times when weasels like that can even get promoted to field grade,never mind General Officers.

Amen.

Milley says he won’t resign because his dad “didn’t resign at Iwo Jima.” Am I the only one who finds this a bizarre analogy? What does his dad’s role in Iwo Jima have to do with Milley’s conduct as head of the Joint Chiefs? Does a father’s bravery excuse the son’s incompetence?

That is a very succinct way of putting it.

Warren: ‘We Should Be Proud of President Biden’ for Afghanistan Evacuation, We ‘Left No American-Owned Equipment Behind’

On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Last Word,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said that her takeaway on the evacuation of Afghanistan from the Senate’s hearing earlier in the day was that the evacuation “was actually an amazing undertaking” where “our military was able to get about 124,000 people out. They left no American-owned equipment behind.” And “We should be proud of President Biden and proud of our military.”

Day 30

We know this not to be true:

"100 Americans left behind" (somewhere between 100 and 8800 Americans were left behind)

"No one saw the collapse happening in 11 days" - there was a Taliban wave gaining momentum for 5 months - Milley and Austin ignored it.

Day 30

We know this not to be true:

"The Largest Evacuation in History" of the wrong people sure

"It was a righteous strike" - it was not

"The Taliban helped thwart additional attacks" - They facilitated the IS-K attack

Day 2 of arrogance and ego on display from Milley and Austin. No personal accountability from either General or the SecDef.

Milley acted truly offended that anyone dare question his actions.

This is what happens when you have politicians instead of warriors at the highest levels of command.

And you can thank Clinton and Obama for the current state of the GO ranks.

GOP better give Miley the proctology treatment on every single finite detail of his conversations with Pelosi. If they don't this was sham.

Milley "I will never go back on that oath"

Well Milley, you broke this oath:

"I will never leave and American behind and under no circumstances will I embarrass my country"

They will try...just like their Senate counterparts did yesterday. But expect more deflection and non answer answers from Milley and company.

Both resulted in failure:

And what about Milley's exchange with Michelle Obama on Biden inauguration day? 'No one has a bigger smile today than I do,' he said. 'You can't see it under my mask, but I do.' More explaining to media what the Chiefs are doing. 4/6
