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?)
