AFGHANISTAN RECAP III

If Austin thinks what just happened in Afghanistan was “heroic” and “historic” then he is truly sick.

That was an absolute disaster that should never have happened how it did!

You can’t rewrite history by simply lying!

Retired Generals And Admirals Send Out Blistering Letter Calling For Biden’s DoD Officials To Step Down

Flag Officers 4 America, a group of retired generals and admirals, wrote an open letter calling for Joe Biden’s Department of Defense officials to step down after the result of the botched Afghanistan withdrawal.

The letter brings up the body count left behind by the Biden team, including the 13 service members who died violently.

“The retired Flag Officers signing this letter are calling for the resignation and retirement of the Secretary of Defense (SECDEF) and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) based on negligence in performing their duties primarily involving events surrounding the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. The hasty retreat has left initial estimates at ~15,000 Americans stranded in dangerous areas controlled by a brutal enemy along with ~25,000 Afghan citizens who supported American forces.”

Part of the letter points out the aspects of the failed withdrawal that most Americans are angry with, including leaving behind a huge depository of taxpayer-funded weapons.

“The consequences of this disaster are enormous and will reverberate for decades beginning with the safety of Americans and Afghans who are unable to move safely to evacuation points; therefore, being de facto hostages of the Taliban at this time. The death and torture of Afghans have already begun and will result in a human tragedy of major proportions. The loss of billions of dollars in advanced military equipment and supplies falling into the hands of our enemies is catastrophic. The damage to the reputation of the United States is indescribable. We are now seen and will be seen for many years, as an unreliable partner in any multinational agreement or operation. Trust in the United States is irreparably damaged.”

The letter concludes with a warning about American enemies who might take advantage of this moment, including China and Russia. The letter also criticizes using training hours to teach “wokeness” to new recruits.

“Moreover, now our adversaries are emboldened to move against America due to the weakness displayed in Afghanistan. China benefits the most followed by Russia, Pakistan, Iran, North Korea, and others. Terrorists around the world are emboldened and able to pass freely into our country through our open border with Mexico.”

In addition to military matters, Flag Officers 4 America, also raises the alarm on border security on their website.

It states, “Open borders jeopardize national security by increasing human trafficking, drug cartels, terrorist entry, health/CV19 dangers, and humanitarian crises. Illegals are flooding our Country bringing high economic costs, crime, lowering wages, and illegal voting in some states. We must re-establish border controls and continue building the wall while supporting our dedicated border control personnel. Sovereign nations must have controlled borders.” (read more)
