Generals testify how Afghanistan was a “logistical success”

On Tuesday General Mark Milley testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee along with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and the head of U.S. Central Command General Kenneth McKenzie Jr. None of these generals will resign or would resign prior to the disastrous withdrawal although they knew it would end in disaster for Americans left behind. Milley won’t go because of Iwo Jima — read on.

No one will be held responsible and they had an excuse for everything, including the droning of an innocent family.

THE GANG THAT COULDN’T SHOOT STRAIGHT AND PEOPLE DIED

General McKenzie took responsibility for droning an innocent family but won’t admit he used Taliban intelligence. He didn’t have any other intelligence. The droning was based on good intelligence according to General McKenzie.

General McKenzie testified that he advised Biden to not withdraw all the forces.

“I recommended we keep 2,500 troops in Afghanistan.” Also says he predicted withdrawing them would cause the Afghan army to collapse and the Taliban taking over. General Milley later said the same thing.

This crew didn’t have enough resources, didn’t have the proper staging, and yet they planned it by their own testimony! They also didn’t plan for the President’s option to flee.

General Milley, totally unprepared for the questioning, couldn’t answer questions about the Woodward book suggesting he’s a traitor. Milley said he didn’t read it. He didn’t want to check for accuracy? He has no sense of responsibility.

Thirteen service people died because of their incompetence.

Basically, they want you to believe they planned for every contingency and no one could have done a better job.

TESTIMONY SO FAR

Senator Hawley grilled Austin who admitted they left Americans behind. Hawley also asked him and Milley about the evacuation scenarios they devised and wanted to know if they thought this rapid evacuation was appropriate. Both Generals said they raised concerns but the State Department made the decision and there was a chance the Afghan forces would hold.

No one believed the Afghan forces would hold without air support especially after the Afghan Army were slaughtered or fled from Bagram in April.

Milley actually said about the Afghanistan mission, “It was a logistical success but a strategic failure.” What would be a logistical failure? 400 beheadings instead of 200? He could actually be the dumbest general we’ve ever had. It was a failure on both counts but especially the latter. We are being gaslighted.

WHY HAVEN’T YOU RESIGNED?

Senator Cotton asked General Milley why he hasn’t resigned if the President didn’t follow his advice.

Milley said he won’t turn his back on people who couldn’t resign in Iwo Jima like his father. Equating Iwo Jima with the vile withdrawal from Afghanistan is a stretch.

Watch:

BIDEN IS THE BOSS BUT TRUMP WASN’T?

General Milley didn’t want to resign because the President disagreed — the President is the boss. How ironic. he adopted a totally different attitude than he had with then-President Trump.

Milley left Donald Trump out of the loop as he went behind his back to promised the CCP he would let them know if the US was going to attack.

There was never any talk of Donald Trump attacking China. It was clear he didn’t want any wars. This is something the General created in his mind.

Milley also confirmed Esper was behind the calls he made to China [that can’t be the second call. Esper was gone by then.]

The Taliban also didn’t live up to the agreement which means the agreement was no longer binding. So much for the excuse that Trump forced Biden into an agreement.

Watch:

THE NUMBERS WE STRANDED

The next clip was good. The Generals deferred to State as to numbers abandoned in Afghanistan. Jim Inhofe had the State’s numbers which he read off. The Generals then disagreed but admitted to not knowing the numbers.

What clowns these people are.

The whole bunch should be fired or resign and release Lt. Col. Scheller from the brig and give him a medal and let him continue time till retirement without any harassment and F**k Joe Biden.

The hearing was being re-run and Inhofe was speaking. He’s another one that can barely speak similar to Grassley, Leahy and others. Many of these Senators must not have any competition in elections. I seriously doubt if most Senators could last through a serious and vibrant debate.

I recently learned up to 2 Star Generals earn their rank but 3 Star and up are political appointments. You learned your political lessons well, Generals, if you can’t dazzle with your brilliance then baffle with your BS.

So true, but it doesn’t begin there. It starts with commanders in the field who use operational statistics to enhance their “resume”, which is how promotions are given. This was the same criteria that was used in Vietnam. You can see this problem in real time when these Generals went to briefings with all the statistics during the operation in Afghanistan. It was on full display today with stating it was a “logistical” success and strategic failure. The Pentagon is consumed with these figures instead of what successes are achieved. All throughout the war in Afghanistan it was General after General who went there giving those same details. Let’s just throw some figures at the Press and Congress and no one will ask what exactly is accomplished.

I would have liked to see just one question about that damned Rainbow flag on the Embassy and the ramifications of doing that in an Islamic country, especially when the Retreat was already in the works. Whether this country agrees with Islam or not, it’s high time the Military, State and the rest of Government “acknowledge” you are Not going to change their beliefs in these matters, and to shove it in their faces is just Asking for hostilities. You are Not going to get Islam to “get Woke”.

So, basically we had the same level of Intelligence failures of Afghanistan as we did on 9-11. Not one had seen it coming. Whey then are there no resignations.
