Hmmm, I wonder if these names on the list will be treated with the same level of credibility, respect, and awe from the media as those 50 former “intelligence” officials who claimed Hunter’s laptop story was Russian disinformation?

[CatOwner]

If they had said similar with Trump the media would have raised hell about it.

With Trump, the media would have only needed a small handful to have said similar, say 3-5. That usually was the case during his presidency.

[Nifster]

IF they had any sense of honor they would commit hari Kari

[Nifster]

Heck a talking parrot could replace those two

[larrytown]

Well, this is what old white supremacist oppressor has-beens do - sign letters demanding resignations. /sarc

If they had any real backbones, they’d demand courts martial and hard prison time.

[glorgau]

...should have recommended against this dangerous withdrawal in the strongest possible terms,”

Yeah, it could impact the fat deals they have with defense contractors after their "retirements".

[longfellowsmuse]

True, but I would take resignations as a start.

[Truth29]

They will not resign, nor be asked too. The Biden Regime is declaring this a historic success and all will be covered in praise and rewards. Biden and company will now turn away from Afghanistan and suppress reports of Americans and allies being hunted down, tortured and executed. The America media will assist them in this deceit.

[rbmillerjr]

1. NK states will test nuclear weapons again.

2. China demands everybody (US) identify themselves when coming in the area of their illegally annexed islands.

3. Saudi Arabia signs mutual cooperation and defense treaty with Russia.

Everything is under control. These are mere coincidences.

[Chgogal]

Court Martial and then Resignation, please.

From Breitbart.com's Facebook page comes a list of at least 197 officers who have been relieved of duty by President Obama for a laundry list of reasons and sometimes with no reason given. Stated grounds range from "leaving blast doors on nukes open" to "loss of confidence in command ability" to "mishandling of funds" to "inappropriate relationships" to "gambling with counterfeit chips" to "inappropriate behavior" to "low morale in troops commanded."

Nine senior commanding generals have been fired by the Obama administration this year, leading to speculation by active and retired members of the military that a purge of its commanders is under way.

Retired U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely, an outspoken critic of the Obama administration, notes how the White House fails to take action or investigate its own officials but finds it easy to fire military commanders "who have given their lives for their country." Vallely thinks he knows why this purge is happening.

"Obama will not purge a civilian or political appointee because they have bought into Obama's ideology," Vallely said. "The White House protects their own. That's why they stalled on the investigation into Fast and Furious, Benghazi and ObamaCare. He's intentionally weakening and gutting our military, Pentagon and reducing us as a superpower, and anyone in the ranks who disagrees or speaks out is being purged."

Another senior retired general told TheBlaze on the condition of anonymity, because he still provide services to the government and fears possible retribution, that "they're using the opportunity of the shrinkage of the military to get rid of people that don't agree with them or do not toe the party line. Remember, as (former White House chief of staff) Rahm Emanuel said, never waste a crisis."

[Uncle Miltie]

JUST WOW!

Testicles still exist.

[Gritty]

Don't these "retired flag officers" know they can be court martialed under the UCMJ for criticizing the Administration like this?

I suspect they will find out soon.

[SES1066]

I wonder how many of them were ‘retired’ by the Obama Administration? We do know that he & his advisors were vigilant in separating the sheep from the wolves!

[Vehmgericht]

“This is the worst defeat in American history. It is inconceivable that they be allowed to stay.” The government and their media will spin this as a great success. If they are replaced they will be replaced by identical idiots. the upper ranks have been thoroughly purges of patriots
