'In the next 48 hours America would be in control of all Afghan airports': Ex- Navy Seal imagines he's Biden and reveals how he would fix fatal mistakes that has left 'Americans and allies stranded' after the Taliban takeover
Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Former Navy Seal pretended to be the President to explain how to fix Afghanistan mistakes

  • Jocko Willink took to Instagram to share his plan for rest of the evacuation

  • Pretending to be the President, he said: 'I made some critical errors'


Courtesy of Besoeker, Fox News reports the video has gone viral. He comments, “Jocko gets it. Why do these feckless traitors in Washington NOT get it ?”
Jocko Willink, a retired Navy SEAL, took to Instagram to post a brief video Monday imagining he was the U.S. commander-in-chief during an address to the nation about the Afghanistan calamity and steps that he would take to resolve the problem.

The Biden administration has been on the receiving end of sharp criticism from those who say the U.S. withdrawal could hardly have gone any worse. Jen Psaki, the White House press officer, grew visibly annoyed during a briefing when she was asked about "stranded" Americans. She said it was inaccurate to say they are stranded and reconfirmed the U.S. commitment to bring home every American who wants to leave.

Willink appeared in the black-and-white video in a black t-shirt and close-cropped haircut. He sounded firm and spoke in short bursts of declarative sentences. He explained in the video caption that this is how he would address the situation to the world.

#1 If it had been done right, there'd be no airports in Afghanistan since 9/12. And a NOTAM that would not expire for another 28,800 years.

#2 Biden also "imagines" he is POTUS, but he can't come up with an intelligent course of action (COA).

#3 Willink gives the speech that nobody other than Trump or Desantis would have the balls to give as CINC. None of those Obama era some flag rank officers have the guts to do so either. But the captains/commanders and Sgts/chiefs could get it done if we had some one with the courage, fortitude and character to speak plainly and do what needs to be done.

#5 Wonderful declaration by Mr. Willink! I haven't felt such patriotism to and for the US since Bush stood on that pile of rubble 20 years ago! Biden is a wuss, God bless the USA!
