Remaining generals and admirals of the United States demanded the resignation of the head of the Pentagon

August 31 2021

The hasty withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan and the mistakes made at the same time led to the discontent of the retired American military, who demanded the resignation of the head of the Pentagon. The retired generals and admirals wrote an open letter in which they demanded the dismissal of the entire leadership of the US Department of Defense.

An open letter signed by 87 retired generals and admirals was posted on the Flag Officers For America website on August 30. In it, officers demand the resignation of the head of the Pentagon Lloyd Austin and the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Millie.

The main charge is that the Pentagon leadership made mistakes that led to irreparable damage to the United States. At the same time, the high command of the US Department of Defense did nothing to correct the mistakes that the actions of the US President led to, and if Biden did not listen to the military, then they should have resigned even then.

Now, the letter stresses, the United States has lost $ 85 billion worth of weapons and equipment, in addition, "irreparable damage" has been done to the reputation of the American army, which was considered the most powerful in the world.

With the US fleeing Afghanistan, America's allies no longer see Americans as "reliable partners," and America's adversaries will take advantage of US "weakness" and oppose

- said the aftermath of the military, adding that Russia, China and Iran with North Korea benefited from all this. Pakistan has been added to the "retirees" of the US opponents. There, according to the authors of the letter, "they are also happy" about the defeat of the Americans.

Thus, the head of the Pentagon Lloyd Austin and the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milli must resign, "guided by their conscience." Whether Austin and Milia still have a conscience, it will be revealed in the near future.

    This is unlikely ...
    They ruined their reputation, BUT, the Yankees are such simple guys that they can FORGIVE ALL, all their mistakes and debts!
    There are several of them who are concerned about relations with their allies, and even then they still believe that they can bend ANYONE when it suits them.
    By the way, they have foundations, strength and resources ... not like before, but there is still "gunpowder in the flasks"!
    In general, they should be discarded EARLY, there is no need to harbor illusions and live in your fantasies. It is harmful and dangerous.
    And so, looking at everything that happens, it is possible with a high degree of probability to assume that the star of America is leaving the sky !!!

    Retirees underestimate the scale of joy around the world.
    Only NATO and their Tobaccos are sad.
    The rest are very satisfied with the surrender of the States.
    Moreover, the Republican Trump prepared the surrender, and the Democrat Biden ended it. Whoever said what now.

    Unlike the plumbing, the political / governing system is able to "stand up and preserve" for itself. It doesn't always work out, but it's not uncommon if you look around.

        Apparently they have a "super hurricane fight" assigned ... at least experienced experts say so. There is already a mobilization of resources and the public.
        I will not say that it will be so, but this topic should not be left out of the field of attention either.
        By the way, according to the same experts, they will not risk starting a war, hoping that it will be quick and victorious ... their "war machine" has gone wrong in terms of organizing, reconnaissance and planning "successful operations." No, they will not take the risk ... although, the hawks, who do not want to understand anything, who do not see any problems with them, are half of the Congress, and there are enough of them in the administration too !!! It’s probably not possible to make a guess like that.

  How so? Indeed, according to all their statements (starting from Psaki and ending with Kirby), they are heroes, they did everything right and they completed all the tasks they wanted. They should be given medals and orders, and you are the switchmen !!

Yes, they did not explain the rules of the Great Game to the children, one of the main ones in them, this move is done in the shade, and preferably in the dark. The consequences must be hidden for other players.
The generals did not understand that the United States in Afghanistan raised and armed tolibs, like the ISIS in Syria and al-Qaeda in the BV.

Claims against the military look far-fetched - Trump's decision to withdraw troops, confirmed by Biden, was purely political.
It looked all the more stupid in those conditions to indicate specific dates for the withdrawal, it could be done in stages without a clear date, with the correction of the created Afghan army and leadership. And so they created a situation in which even those who wanted to fight against the Taliban were captured by a general wave and were left without weapons - the Taliban now have them.

  During the withdrawal of our troops, there was also a specific date, fixed following the results of the negotiations in Geneva ... There are claims to the military ... Where there is clear order, discipline, thoughtfulness and a lot of everything

    Do you remember those days?
    In early November 1988, the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan was suspended due to the sharply intensified offensive actions of the Mujahideen, in particular, massive rocket attacks on Kabul. After that, in the second half of November and December 1988, the situation in Afghanistan stabilized somewhat, but the Soviet leadership refrained from making any statements about whether the withdrawal of Soviet troops would be completed to the end, or whether military operations in Afghanistan would continue.
    
    The withdrawal operation was constantly attacked by the mujahideen. According to the Washington Post, a total of 523 Soviet soldiers were killed during this period.
    
    And most importantly, the result in both cases is the same - Islamic radicals, the Taliban, came to power.
    Although this is unprofitable for the United States, the USSR, and Russia.

      Our withdrawal began at 88, yes, but the final date was known, the losses were not just during the withdrawal, the withdrawal itself took place with minimal losses ... The total losses in 88 years were about 800 people, and in 8z in 2 months less 100 people

        Excessive idealization, ours also had enough problems.
        Operation Typhoon, missile and bomb strikes on Afghans, carried out in 1989, despite agreements with Massoud on the unhindered withdrawal of Soviet troops, led to the death of a large number of civilians.
        And, pay attention, ours, unlike the Americans, were withdrawing their troops, the Americans had a problem with the export of Afghans, first of all.

        I am not idealizing, everything happened in different situations. And I do not deny the carpet bombing of the territory along the Salang, where the division of Dzhokhar Dudayev distinguished itself.
        And the problem of the export of civilians by the Americans who worked with the previous government and the Americans who were given passports, you must agree, this is their problem and their disregard for those whom they have tamed.
        And the links to the conclusion .. my father left Afghanistan ..

Interestingly, we also think so, like retired US generals, that it was the miscalculations of the American leadership that led to the flight and losses of Americans in Afghanistan. But the American leadership itself is confident that it defeated terrorism in the country and built democracy. In five years, Hollywood will shoot a wonderful movie, where the Americans with a sense of accomplishment, under a gallant march with banners, leave the country ...................

Today at about 12 noon, in the area of the river. Kuban, at the junction of the Crimean and Slavyansky in the Kuban region, at low altitude, we saw a C-17 in standard gray vestments. Apparently either landed or took off from the airfield in Krymsk.
That's it, gentlemen Patriots.
