Can you imagine Patton being asked about proper pronouns?

These two are a disgrace. The outright dishonesty in their answers is infuriating.

Milley just threw it over to Biden, extraction a policy decision.


Watching State, DoD, and Biden officials point fingers at each other over this shite show is disgusting.

"Are you regretting not starting the evacuation sooner?"

Sounds like Milley will be the fall guy when the time comes.

He talked and looked like he knows it while reading his statement.

Do you wish you’d started the evacuation earlier and they just look at each other.

Milley is the type of guy that surrenders without a shot fired. Total fraud. A Princeton elite, paper soldier.

Then he should be fricking fired and court martialed.

It amazes me that the administration has put these two out there without the President to answer questions on this.

It's inconceivable that the POTUS is not there with them.

It’s obvious they NEVER believed they’d face a (somewhat) hostile media.

I'm pleasantly surprised that the reporters are holding their feet to the fire.

"Sorry, secretary, but the video isn't matching the audio here....your focus is on the airfield, but people cannot get to the airfield"

"It sounds like you are saying diplomacy with the Taliban is the only way to do this"

He is telling you the truth. The military can only do what the Afghan government allows them, which at this point is the airport.

Both of these guys need to be removed and next man up.

They should be told, your mission is to get everyone out. No one left behind.

This is not true. That may be the agreement signed in Doha, but that is not true on the ground or in practice. I know you are married to that agreement in all of these threads, but that is not what is actually governing anything whatsoever at this point.

The Taliban bent the US Army over and made them like it. Sad!
