#Milley #Austin #Afghanistan
I cannot think of ANY REASON……..he would have left items behind……..don’t think it was a mistake………so then he just neglected his and did it on purpose
He is responsible for following our constitution and defending our country?????? That is a bold face lie……….if he does as he claims………where was his responsibility when ALL OUR MILITARY GEAR AND EQUIPMENT was left behind??? Shouldn’t he be held accountable for giving supplies to the Taliban????
These generals are disgraceful. Along with all their total incompetence, they are both 100+ pounds too fat! Not so long ago a military officer would be drummed out for being a few pounds too fat. What about these two?
We have 2,500 troops that will gladly raise their hands, I’m sure.
We have enough tax payers who would gladly pay for it.
So Biden is incompetent AND arrogant. Great! Here's another take away: if you voted for this bafoon you have blood on your hands.
Did any Chinese Generals WARN General Milley about the Wuhan Chinese Coronavirus?
Why didn't Liz Cheney ask MILLEY ?
⌨ï¸ÂÂ💻🇺🇸💩💩💩
So Milley will call CHINA… to warn them about an attack that never happened, but won't warn anyone in HIS OWN COUNTRY about a President with dementia making a military call that made NO STRATEGIC SENSE, killing lord knows how many of our allies, costing 13 beloved service peoples lives, leading to innocent children dying in his botched drone attack, he lies about… AND leaving a 17 year Marine, one Col, Stuart Scheller, imprisoned for speaking the truth he runs from. What a hypocrite and coward. Could we ask for a more Awesome American Military advisor to the Leader of the "Free" World? We are in a nightmare under this president as he does nothing about any of it.
What a CLUSTER F..K. FUBAR. EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE TO KNOW BIDEN IS NOT COMPETENT, THEY WILL SHIELD HIM TO THE END. SOME ONE NEEDS TO STEP UP AND START A REMOVAL OF THE CHIEF OF COMMAND. YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO CARRY OUT THE LAWFUL ORDERS. HOW FAR WILL THEY LET HIM GO BEFORE STOPPING THE INSANITY.
This would not be going had not Trump signed an agreement to get out Americans and American troops by spring of this year and for this cause he (Trump) let out THOUSANDS of Talibans including their NOW leader to reassemble back into Afghanistan. But whoa be those whom refuse to understand this because it's a Republican power game with the people of America. For the last time please acknowledge that the Democrats and the Republicans BOTH work for the same CORPORATIONS.
Gee! I feel so much safer knowing these stalwart bozos are doing their thing!
Milley needs to be put in solitary confinement at Fort Leavenworth, breaking rocks with a toy hammer within his 7×10 cell. Bread and water for his meals. U.S Army retired here.
Democrats are destroying this country.
What will be result of hearings.what will happen to responsible persons and administration.
Most of the withdraw people from Afghanistan were just civilians that did not support the US in anyway. They have no background to check so background checks are useless. And we left Americans behind !
The military also failed. They said they succeeded in the withdrawal because they were tasked with the military, not the civilians. It is their responsibility to consider impacts outside of the direct orders they were given, take initiative to coordinate with State Dept and others to have a full plan. Junior officers (like I was) get beaten over the head with that by majors and colonels until we learn to think more broadly. So these gentlemen failed to do the core job of an officer.
Everything is motivated by lies, money, popular trends and anti-traditional values. A total mess from the top, at the expense of hard working American families. GOD HELP US.
BOTH AUSTIN AND MILLEY HAVE A WET, YELLOW, STINKY PANTS' LEG.
American Taxpayer your president, the administration and its agencies are against you. Don`t forget it!
What I took from this was these so called military leaders told the President this withdrawal was a bad idea but the people around the President you know the ones who cut his Mic off and give him a list of reporters to call on decided this is how we are leaving…
I think we all know that when somebody says I do not recall that meant yes. 😂
I'm tired of seeing leftists in comment sections blame this debacle on Trump. Trump never told anyone to pull out the troops before the civilian personnel, leave behind a massive arsenal for the Taliban, or cut off all air support overnight.
This is all on Biden. At least his butt's been wiped, right? 🙄
There are documented accounts that tell of US servicemen in Afghanistan being ordered by their superiors not to intervene when they heard the cries of screaming children being sexually assaulted by Afghan security personnel. No wonder, then, that the common Afghan citizen would prefer the Taliban clergy over the secular Afghani government.
BIDEN didnt go with their recommendations.
They’re calling out Biden’s lies or his absolute mental incapacity
Free Lt Col Stuart Scheller
Reporter lady ðŸâ€Â¥ðŸâ€ÂÂ¥
I am looking for criminals in Japan. See my playlist for more details. Should I consult the police? I want your opinion.

People need to stop being ridiculous about this… it was a sh*t show 20 years ago, it was one last year, it will continue to be one going forward, of course it was messy getting out but that's no reason to continue to stand in the sh*t
Beijing Biden and his entire administration have done nothing but lie. I doubt the WAPO would even have enough paper to keep track of Biden's lies.
Well its official the buck stops with 'Runaway Joe' for the Afghanistan retreat debacle….
Yes the take away is that biden acted against the advise of his top commanders.
No accountability I didn't know very high ranking officials didn't know a yes or no answer always giving extended B.S.
Biden administration is responsible for all chaos. Leaving Afghanistan good idea! Democratic types planning how to do it, bad bad bad.
When Trump was in office the word used by a lot of people was frightening. These two are truly frightening
My key takeaway is that Joe Biden is incompetent, inept and unqualified to be president. And that goes for his affirmative action cabinet.
This is why we need age limits for government positions. We barely trust the elderly to drive. Why let them run a country.
Who is going to be held accountable??? Biden.
As always the swamp media covers for the swamp..WHY NO ONE ASKING WHAT ABOUT THE 5K AMERiCANS STILL THERE..or the afghans that aided us for last 20years..oo thats right THE ENEMY WAS GIVEN A LIST..so they can be slaughtered
When trump opened his mouth and gave a date, that was all the Taliban were waiting on, normally we would leave under secrecy and they wouldn't have been able to organize as fast as they did
NBC got it right, it's intents, as in a circus tents, with lots of clowns.
Military says they warned Biden
… who do we believe ?
1 John 3:18- . . . let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth.
1 John 4:8- The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
1 John 4:11- Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
Joshua 23:11– “So take diligent heed to yourselves to love the Lord your God.
Jude 21- keep yourselves in the love of God, . . .
Installed nightmare KathyHochul says "God" wants people to take the vaccine & "be her apostle" & Milley believes HE IS G*d. Meanwhile LT Col Scheller arrested for "speaking"
