More Americans left in Afghanistan than we are being told

Post by dan_s »

Retired military generals have called for Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley to resign. The Washington Times reports that nearly 90 retired military personnel have accused the pair of “negligence” in connection with the botched U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Members of the group “Flag Officers 4 America” wrote a letter stating in part, “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.”

The letter also stated that Milley and Austin “should have recommended against this dangerous withdrawal in the strongest possible terms. If they did not do everything within their authority to stop the hasty withdrawal, they should resign.” It continued saying that if Milley and Austin had pushed back on Biden’s withdrawal plan, they should also resign “as a matter of conscience and public statement.”
