1. Oh for Fu*Ks sakes....

[tirebiter]

2. He's probably right.

And, I bet he was driven to the studio. To deal with this we have the CIA.

3. The Taliban are fighting in one province now and likely will have to battle ISIS-K

but this was known.

4. Dear President Biden, It's Time to Fire this Asspickle

Any Flag Officer with integrity would have resigned his commission immediately after putting on his uniform, strutting like a peacock next to Donnie Dipshit, and participating in a photo OP at the "Battle of St. John's Church".

Let's not forget that the image that was sent was that, the military had just teargassed and used rubber bullets to clear peaceful, protesting American CITIZENS so Donnie Dipshit could march WITH THE SENIOR MILITARY OFFICER OF THE COUNTRY to hold up a book he has never read, in front of a church he has never attended.

No amount of apology, or "gee I made a mistake, I shouldn't have allowed myself to be used as a political pawn like the senior officers in Russia, or Turkey" is enough to remove the shitstain this fuckstick smeared across the United States military.

The fact that this piece of amphibian shit didn't resign immediately after that shitshow tells us all we need to know.

Seriously President Biden, there really are a lot of Flag Officers with the integrity, courage and commitment to our Constitution that can replace this disgrace to the uniform.

I am sure that Milley can find a job, with a gold plated uniform as a Diet Coke fetcher for Donnie Shit for Brains.

Our men and women in uniform deserve better than this guy.

5. I thought Milley might be a pretty decent guy because he

stood against Trump's coup. But it appears that his loyalty to anyone is short-lived, unless you count his devotion to the MIC. The Afghanistan War is over for now, and Milley and his cronies will have to find another gravy train. How people can accept the deaths of others as a sacrifice for their own profit is hard for me to grasp, but these fuckers accept it and don't lose any sleep.

6. Anti-Social Personality Disordered individuals

do well in the military and business. It’s easy to succeed when you don’t have to worry about a conscience making you feel bad. They fake being human, as we j is what that word means, so lying becomes second nature to them. Think where you’d be if you could throw anyone under the bus at a moments notice to further your own self interests.
I interviewed one after a domestic violence incidence. First time a client made the hair stand up on the back of my neck. He reminded me of a shapeshifter from a science fantasy book.

9. hes hawkish..he likes legit war games.

[greenjar_01]

11. Why, because he accurately presented a likely scenario?

Are you saying you DON'T think civil war is likely, and that al-Qaeda types DON'T thrive in such spaces? That seems silly.

[Haggard Celine]

13. That's not what I was talking about.

If he was merely predicting what is going to happen in Afghanistan, that would be one thing, but he's implying that we should.stay there in order to keep those things from happening. That's what I have a problem with. And sure, he even has the right to advocate an open-ended commitment of our military to Afghanistan, but I think that's wrong and I think Pres. Biden did the right thing with the evacuation.

[greenjar_01]

19. Oh, implying

[uponit7771]

7. Known known risk

[samnsara]

8. y'know.....im just glad our boys are out of harms way

[niyad]

16. I am glad that our women and men are out of harm's way there.

[greenjar_01]

10. It's almost certainly the line coming directly from the White House

It's also a good depiction of the likely scenarios.

[PortTack]

15. Agree..President Biden said that ISIS would be taken out with US drone strikes

[former9thward]

17. Drone strikes were tried all during the Obama administration.

They rarely worked then and they won't work now.

[PortTack]

20. Worked very effectively taking out some of the suicide bombers at the Kabul airport!

Confirmed kills of those involved.

The technology has advised dramatically since President Obama used them...much more effective

[former9thward]

21. Ahh, suicide bombers don't need to be taken out.

They take themselves out. The drone attack after the Kabul airport attack did not take out anyone involved in Kabul. Our military admitted that. They took out a guy who they said was planning other attacks.

He has been replaced by a 100 more by now I'm sure.

[berni_mccoy]

12. It's already happening

It’s a prediction of current events.

[lark]

14. WTF is Biden doing keeping this hateful holdover from the fascist regime?

There was a reason drumpf picked him and he should be let go for that same exact reason. He always does the wrong thing first before he apologizes for it but never does the actual right thing. Kick him out NOW! If he can't be loyal to his commander in chief & his administration, get rid of him yesterday.

[Baked Potato]

18. He's blunting the worst case scenario news.

Best to get ahead of any bad stories likely to emerge from Afghanistan.

[brooklynite]

22. Explain what your complaint is.

Did he publicly oppose the Biden policy to withdraw? Or is it because he was on Fox News (so is Secretary Buttigieg on a regular basis). As for his comments, do you claim it’s not an unreasonable assessment that the situation in Afghanistan will likely be in stable, which could allow a resurgence of terrorist groups?
