Trump encourages Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to 'fire every single' general involved in botched Afghanistan withdrawal
[NYPOST] President Trump argued on Wednesday that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth should ''fire every single'' US military general involved in the Biden administration's botched withdrawal from Afghanistan.

The Pentagon chief was seated to Trump's left during a Cabinet meeting at the White House, when a news hound asked about the current employment status of the generals tasked with organizing the August 2021 US exit from Afghanistan.

''I'm not going to tell this man what to do but I will say that if I had his place, I'd fire every single one of them, Pete,'' Trump responded.
The DOD has an excess of generals…

#1 Don't forget, he had already given the orders to prepare to withdrawal based upon the Taliban meeting conditions. The general officers at the time ignored that order. When Biden gave the order, they had to improvise because of that disobedience.

#5 The withdraw was absolute slop, and would likely have been worse if there wasn't a huge payoff for a ceasefire to evacuate IMHO, but a story like that would be egregiously obvious to even Normies, no slight on them, trying to wake them up: people scraping by to go home and do family things don't have the luxery of time to proper research.
