He will now be forced to retire or will be framed for something by those in the Pentagon.

He is asking the same question everyone else is asking: Why were the generals so wrong about the Afghan government standing up to the Taliban? It's hardly a controversial question. I know it's not kosher to publicly criticize the chain of command but I doubt anyone will make an issue of it. When the dust settles there will be answers and a reckoning.

He is doing the right thing but they will punish him for it.

Lt Cols are generals that haven't yet turned into political suck ups....if you want something done in the Corps find a LT Col not a general....

Yep. Good friend retired as a bird Col because he was told his upcoming promotion to General meant to drop all of his charity work and be political.

Presidents pretty much just say GO. They damned sure can't foretell the future. They turn to the experts at hand to make an informed judgement. Someone was obviously very wrong. The only military careers at stake here should be the top brass who were told to organize a withdrawal and fumbled the ball.

 

[Burgermeister]

Already fired.

occupied wrong--he's the CiC --he has the final say---it's their DECISION

Yes, it is. You don't hear Biden trying shirk his responsibility. The fact remains that he delegated to the generals the responsibility of making a plan that didn't suck. What does Biden know about logistics? Why would he second guess anyone who is paid to be an expert? He was told the Afghan government would guard our retreat. Whoever came up with that assessment does not deserve his position. Now is not a good time to have a shakeup at the pentagon but it's coming.

occupied hahahahahh--their ---meaning the CiCs..Biden is ALWAYS shirking responsibility --surely you are being sarcastic

 

[harmonica]

occupied all on Bidumb--UNDENIABLE .....he makes the final decision...he even said he was a student of history--well, obviously he's a dumbass---you don't wait to the LAST minute and the civilians don't go LAST---this is basic COMMON SENSE---you don't need to be a general to know that

You're going to be gung ho for the next war because you apparently think America can be good at imperialism. We absolutely suck at it and it's time we quit trying. Our generals are great at blowing shit up but winning the peace is beyond their abilities.

 

[Lesh]

He just ended his career...and rightfully so
