I saw Posobiec’s tweet the other day.
According to him, Milley is considering “falling on his sword” for Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, and plans to retire after the chaos in Afghanistan is resolved.
Psss… Important. You may kiss your retirement savings goodbye…
Posobiec also claimed that Milley wished President Trump was back
I thought it was interesting, but I didn’t think anything of it beyond that.
Things just got interesting though, President Trump did a press release yesterday reposting Posobiec’s original tweet.
Looks like this rumor just gained a lot more steam:
The New York Post called for Milley and other Pentagon brass to resign or be fired:
MUST READ! Biden fires warning shot for retirees…
Meanwhile, over the past few months, Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has been jabbering about “white rage” and helping our soldiers master the subtle dialectics of Ibram X. Kendi. We would have been better off if he had read Clausewitz and Sun Tzu, though Milley did inform us that he has read Karl Marx.
This is the biggest foreign failure in most Americans’ lifetimes, and there needs to be an accounting. The normal course of business after government bungling nowadays is that everyone involved tut-tuts a bit, then gets a raise and a promotion, while the government goes back to business as usual.
But in a sane nation, failure would be punished.
To begin with, Milley must resign or be fired. And the same for our triple-masking defense secretary, Lloyd Austin. This was a failure that happened on their watch, and it happened through bad management. We could have pulled out without nearly the level of chaos, confusion and terror.
President Trump also slammed Biden for his historic failure in Afghanistan, The Hill reports:
“He ran out of Afghanistan instead of following the plan our Administration left for him—a plan that protected our people and our property, and ensured the Taliban would never dream of taking our Embassy or providing a base for new attacks against America. The withdrawal would be guided by facts on the ground,” Trump said in a statement.
“After I took out ISIS, I established a credible deterrent. That deterrent is now gone. The Taliban no longer has fear or respect for America, or America’s power,” he added.
Trump in 2016 ran on a platform to end “endless” wars such as the conflict in Afghanistan. The U.S. has been involved in conflict there for 20 years.
