Like Benghazi, this will be marginalized. In a few months, the battle cry will be, “What difference, at this point, does it make?” Progressives never suffer the consequences of their actions.

My suspicion is that a perfectly reasonable plan to hold Baghram with the 2,500 troops in country, bolstered by the Afghani army who would have had continued logistical support, was presented to Xiden. His puppeteers said “No, that’s Trump’s plan!” and instructed SlowJoe to stomp his feet, demand a reduction down to 700 troops, and GTFO before his planned 9/11 victory dance. Heck, it probably involved rotating in units with the necessary skill set - maybe even a surge - and that was totally unacceptable to whomever is actually running this country.

The generals and admirals at the top, are products of the obummer era, 2008-16 and almost every one of them is an ass kissing yes man.

Whether milley said stay or go about Bagram Airfield, slow joe and his political cohorts, made the final decision to go.

If milley said stay, then he should have resigned, if he said go, then he should be fired.

That asshole should be gone, regardless of his past advice.

Looking at him testifying about CRT at a Congressional hearing, seeing his jacket (blouse) heavy-laden with ribbons and medals, followed by his performance during this debacle reminded me of the banana republic leaders who knew nothing and had done nothing except pompously promote themselves to extort money from more developed countries. The man should be fired and demoted. He is a phoney and a joke…and cost America it’s national security.

Milley is a Trump appointee. I expect he will be “retiring” soon. The rest will all stay for the usual 2-3 year swamp cycle and then cash out.

You can be sure Thoroughly Modern Milley will be glad when this fuss subsides and he can get back to hosting drag queen fashion shows and inculcating the timeless thoughts of Mao.

When Milley goes, look for a female or minority officer to be installed as CJCS. It will be very progressive.

Gotta purge, even if the purged had previously done exactly as they'd been told.

“Fatal”? He still even has his job. He was fatal to other, better men than he.

His advisors needed to VERY POINTEDLY make it clear the disaster in the making IF he pulled the guys with guns out first and shut down Bagram and abandoned all its equipment. To include putting it IN WRITING and, if ignored, RESIGNING.

Former military here. It is amazing how quickly even a military commander can get serious when you say, “I want that order in writing.”

Milley would resign if he has any sense of honor. Since he doesn’t he needs to be fired.

............the picture of the 11 caskets in the airplane with some mother and daddy’s son in them makes my blood boil!

I can take it when it happens in reasonably necessary combat situations with a reasonably respected Commander In Chief but over Bidens half working brain, ego and a stolen election I’m beside myself!
