90 retired generals and admirals call for Austin and Milley to resign immediately over the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

Ninety retired military generals and admirals are demanding Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley resign

Calls for resignation 'based on negligence in performing their duties primarily involving events surrounding the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan'

Also said if Milley and Austin advised against withdrawal, they should have resigned if Biden didn't take their direction in protest of his leadership

Letter's signatories include Admiral John Poindexter, who served as President Ronald Reagan's national security adviser

House Rep. Ronny Jackson, the former top White House physician to Presidents Obama and Trump, is also a signatory to the letter

Jackson has previously called into question Biden's cognitive fitness for the job and demanded that he take a test similar to the one given to Trump

Comes after a Marine Lieutenant Colonel resigned after speaking out against his leadership for not pushing back against Biden's decisions in Afghanistan

The Pentagon announced Monday the last U.S. troops left Kabul

#3 Saw a report elsewhere that the number is now up to 220. Of course, these are all just malcontents who are bitter about being cashiered by the Bath House regime.

#4 Why just 90?Ore even 220? And why only one (somewhat whacky) active duty officer (relatively junior at that?)
