Biden and the American Military Leadership is a Disaster

By Rich Kozlovich 

I don't know if anyone watched the Senate Armed Services Committee hearings on the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal, but Secretary of Defense Austin, General Mark Milley and General Kenneth McKenzie looked like deer in the headlights.  All answering with logical fallacies, evasions, and I think outright lies.

Milley once claimed the withdrawal from Afghanistan was a logical success but a strategic failure.  What?  Does that make sense to anyone?

I put this in the same category as Field Marshall Montgomery's analysis of the disaster of Operation Market Garden saying he was pleased because 90% of the plan was successful, and then shifted to blame from himself to the Poles, which history has shown to be a lie to cover for the failure it was. The King of Belgium said his country couldn't afford too many more of Montgomery's 90% successes. What we have here now are generals trying to put the blame on Biden, and rightly so, while avoiding any responsibility to themselves.  

Let's take Milley's call to the Chinese general. Milley Admits Rogue Plan to Share Intel with China Said I’d ‘Probably’ Call if Attack Was Coming. In short, Milley decided he was Commander in Chief, not the President of the United States, and was  willing to commit treason.  And he's still there. 

Milley thought Trump might cause a ‘Pearl Harbor’.  Well, did he bring that to Trump's attention?  Did he bring that to the attention of the Secretary of Defense.  Did he bring that to those committees that oversee the military in Congress?  Did he bring that to the attention of the Vice President.  Not as far as anyone can tell, and that's not his call.  If he really felt that was true he should have resigned and publicly stated that for the consumption of the Congress and the American people.  But he didn't because according to him that would be a political act.  What?  But deciding he was the Commander in Chief wasn't political act, a political act of treason?

He didn't, instead, he chose treason because:

"according to I Alone Can Fix It, from Washington Post reporters Carol Leonnig and Phillip Rucker, Gen. Milley believes Donald Trump is the moral equivalent of Adolph Hitler, Trump’s followers are “brownshirts,” and Trump’s complaints about voter fraud were calls for genocide

When Biden made the decision for the disastrous escape from Afghanistan, did he do that on his own? The President says he took the advice of the military experts, the generals say he didn't! That "no senior military officer advised him to leave troops behind in Afghanistan."

• Biden Waited Until 5 Days Before Aug. 31 Troop Withdrawal Deadline to Ask Military Leaders If Troops Should Stay
• What advice did Biden hear from senior military officers -- and when did he hear it?
• Generals scramble to avoid responsibility for Afghanistan
• Top Generals Contradict Biden; Testify He Was Advised to Not Withdraw All Troops From Afghanistan 
• Biden Caught Lying About Generals Recommending Prolonged Troop Presence 
• Bombshells: Biden Betrayed!  
• Biden Lied’: Blackburn Calls for POTUS to Resign over Afghanistan Debacle
• U.S. Marine Who Blasted Hasty Afghan Withdrawal in Military Lockup 

But no need to worry, we can be happy because Senator Fauxcahontas Warren has assured us:

• ‘We should be proud of President Biden’ for Afghanistan evacuation. 

Representative Gaetz takes a different view, and one I think is shared by most of the nation: ‘If we didn’t have a President that was so addled, you all would be fired!’
