Mark Milley

#Mark Milley, the senior general, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff oversaw the disastrous foul up at Kabul, the withdrawal from Afghanistan. He had over a year to pull men and materiel out. See Taliban Helping Americans Evacuate Kabul on the point. He did not. He was the leader of de facto mutiny. He then proceeded to claim that he did not know the new Afghan army was going to collapse that fast. Could he really be that ignorant, that incompetent? Has he sold his soul to the Enemy Within? Possibly, even probably. See the Wiki's mug shot and decide whether he is an arrogant, self-satisfied rogue or not.

He betrayed his responsibilities under the Uniform Code of Military Justice He also colluded with the enemy by telling the top Chinese general that he would warn of an impending American attack. That qualifies as Treason. There is also the enthusiasm for disobeying a lawful command and conduct prejudicial to good order and military discipline.

The transition from President Donald J. Trump to President Joseph R. Biden Jr. stands as one of the most dangerous periods in American history.

But as # 1 internationally bestselling author Bob Woodward and acclaimed reporter Robert Costa reveal for the first time, it was far more than just a domestic political crisis.

Woodward and Costa interviewed more than 200 people at the center of the turmoil, resulting in more than 6,000 pages of transcripts—and a spellbinding and definitive portrait of a nation on the brink.

This classic study of Washington takes readers deep inside the Trump White House, the Biden White House, the 2020 campaign, and the Pentagon and Congress, with vivid, eyewitness accounts of what really happened.

Peril is supplemented throughout with never-before-seen material from secret orders, transcripts of confidential calls, diaries, emails, meeting notes and other personal and government records, making for an unparalleled history.

It is also the first inside look at Biden’s presidency as he faces the challenges of a lifetime: the continuing deadly pandemic and millions of Americans facing soul-crushing economic pain, all the while navigating a bitter and disabling partisan divide, a world rife with threats, and the hovering, dark shadow of the former president.

“We have much to do in this winter of peril,” Biden declared at his inauguration, an event marked by a nerve-wracking security alert and the threat of domestic terrorism.

Peril is the extraordinary story of the end of one presidency and the beginning of another, and represents the culmination of Bob Woodward’s news-making trilogy on the Trump presidency, along with Fear and Rage. And it is the beginning of a collaboration with fellow Washington Post reporter Robert Costa that will remind readers of Woodward’s coverage, with Carl Bernstein, of President Richard M. Nixon’s final days.

 

 

Mark Milley ex Wiki
Mark Alexander Milley (born June 18, 1958) is a United States Army general and the 20th chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He previously served as the 39th chief of staff of the Army.

2021 Taliban offensive and fall of Kabul
Milley was heavily criticized for his role in planning the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan/a>.[85][86] Following the withdrawal, the Taliban began its campaign to overthrow the Afghanistan government in Kabul. The city was ultimately besieged by the Taliban and fell to their control on August 15, 2021, resulting in mass panic among Afghan citizens attempting to flee the country, particularly those who had assisted the United States occupation. Thousands of Afghan citizens surged into Kabul Airport in a desperate attempt to leave the city, with some even attempting to grab on to a military transport as it took off, falling to their deaths minutes later. Milley later denied knowing about the imminent fall of Kabul or having seen intelligence indicating the position of the Taliban to be stronger than believed. As a result of the failed withdrawal, a number of elected officials, including Utah 2nd district Congressman Chris Stewart and Kentucky 6th district Congressman Andy Barr and Ohio 6th District Congressman Bill Johnson, demanded that Milley resign and acknowledge the failure that led to the chaos following the Fall of Kabul.[86][87][88][89][85][90][91][92][93]

Milley was also the architect of then-President Donald Trump's future peace talks with Taliban that would be held at Camp David.[94][95] However following the new administration of President Joe Biden, Milley appeared to suggest that it would be a mistake to leave Afghanistan and that doing so could lead to Taliban take-over, casting doubt on how the Taliban and the Afghan government under President Ashraf Ghani could unite.[95][91] An opinion article on The New York Post criticized Milley for making a contrary decision during two different administrations, supporting peace talks with the Taliban during one administration and later opposing them in another.[91][95]

On August 26, 2021 following the suicide Bombing incident at Kabul International Airport that led to the death of 183 people, including 13 United States service members, 11 Marines, 1 soldier and 1 Navy Corpsman,[96] pressure grew even more especially among the lawmakers asking Milley to resign immediately from the Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman position, including Senator Josh Hawley and Marsha Backburn.[97][98][99][100][101][102][103][104] Milley was blamed for being incompetent and failed to provide accurate advise and information to the National Security Council regarding the current situation in Afghanistan that resulted to the bombing incident at Kabul International Airport.[97][100][99][104] Some even compared the incident with the 1993 incident at Mogadishu, Somalia which resulted in the death of 19 United States service members.[104][99][97]

Nearly 90 Retired Generals & Admirals Call for Pentagon Chief and Gen. Milley to Resign in Scathing Letter
QUOTE
U.S. retired generals and admirals are calling for the resignations of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark Milley, and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, over the disastrous handling of America’s exit from Afghanistan.

Nearly 90 of the flag officers issued a scathing letter on the Afghanistan exit, as well as the role Biden’s top brass played in the debacle. It is posted in full below.

“The retired Flag Officers signing this letter are calling for the resignation and retirement of the Secretary of Defense (SECDEF) and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) based on negligence in performing their duties primarily involving events surrounding the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan,” the letter reads. “The hasty retreat has left initial estimates at ~15,000 Americans stranded in dangerous areas controlled by a brutal enemy along with ~25,000 Afghan citizens who supported American forces.”

“What should have happened upon learning of the Commander in Chief’s (President Biden’s) plan to quickly withdraw our forces and close the important power projection base Bagram, without adequate plans and forces in place to conduct the entire operation in an orderly fashion?” the letter continues.
UNQUOTE
Given that they have had since February 2020 to pull out I am not entirely convinced. Incompetent? By all means but also, more importantly mutinous.

 

 

Michael Yon tells us about Mark Milley

Godwin's Law And General Milley
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law
#Godwins Law is about the probability, approaching 100%, i.e. certainty that someone will be accused of being a Nazi [ or even a Fascist ]. Others would be inclined to accuse the opposition as Marxists or Paedophiles, if not both.
26 June 2021
Panama City, Panama

Quick mind dump, sans edit. I am preparing to head to Africa on migration research and then back to Texas.

This morning, General Mark Milley is Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff. Top officer in the most powerful military in known human history. Thousands of nuclear weapons, for starters.

Up the food chain, one more notch, is Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III. Overt racist [ He's black and stupid too - Editor ].

And one step higher is Joe Biden [ a senile puppet - Editor ].

Table is set.

General Milley defends teaching Critical Race 'Theory' to military officers.

For folks who may have missed it, the quality of US military officers is plummeting. The Navy can hardly sail without crashing. One officer, at her trial for her involvement in crashing a fighting ship, broke down and cried. It's fallen that low. Crying is a defense.............

We watched the military become a logical career path for folks who want sex-change on demand at taxpayer expense. Where were the icons such as Mattis?

Women heading into infantry. Pushing women into infantry is a more epic mistake than using boa constrictors as babysitters. And yet military leadership -- barely a whisper of dissent -- just explain it all away.

To be clear, I make no protest against women in combat. Many women do great in combat. Been there, seen that, many times. It's not about courage. Select women and men bring plenty of courage.

And combat is not infantry. Many folks who do not know the difference between combat and infantry manage to think their opinions are equal to those who have spent years in combat, with infantry. These are the same folks, in my experience, who push Critical 'Racist' Theory.

The masses who push the new Naziism do so in the way that all herds stampede. Just cattle. But the ringleaders are bringing about destruction of the United States.

Godwin's Law is an illumination that nearly all heated arguments -- if they run course long enough -- will end up with accusations or evocations of Nazism. The vast majority of Nazi comparisons are wildly -- well, wrong.

But there is a meritorious 1%.

Critical Race Theory is direct echo of Nazi ideas.

And not in a minor way.

Those who study information war, and have studied previous and current genocides, can see that Caucasians are being set up for genocide in Europe and in North America. And Asian Americans next on the menu.

General Milley has become a useful tool. In a very powerful position. And he is not the only one.

Milley sucks up to the forces of American destruction. Just as many Jews did to their own destruction. None of this is new.

To be fair, I know people who know Milley well, and people who have served under Milley at various stages of his career. According to officers and NCOs I trust, there was a time when Milley was a good officer.

But today, Milley serves in the dark forces which undermine our country and our way of life. Milley sucks up to, and placates, those who wish to destroy him. Milley alienates his natural allies -- people like me -- who he works to destroy.

Milley-Austin-Biden: Three Horsemen [ A nod to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse - Editor ]

This man, by his own words and actions, is behaving as an enemy of freedom and all that our ancestors have fought for.

 

Godwin's Law ex Wiki
Godwin's law, short for Godwin's law (or rule) of Nazi analogies,[1][2] is an Internet adage asserting that as an online discussion grows longer (regardless of topic or scope), the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Adolf Hitler approaches 1.[2][3] In less mathematical terms, the longer the discussion, the more likely a Nazi comparison becomes, and with long enough discussions, it is a certainty.

Promulgated by the American attorney and author Mike Godwin in 1990,[2] Godwin's law originally referred specifically to Usenet newsgroup discussions.[4] He stated that he introduced Godwin's law in 1990 as an experiment in memetics.[2] It is now applied to any threaded online discussion, such as Internet forums, chat rooms, and comment threads, as well as to speeches, articles, and other rhetoric[5][6] where reductio ad Hitlerum occurs.

In 2012, "Godwin's law" became an entry in the third edition of the Oxford English Dictionary

    Taliban Helping Americans Evacuate Kabul  [ 30 April 2020 ]
    QUOTE
    KABUL, April 30 (Reuters) - Taliban fighters have protected western military bases in Afghanistan from attacks by rival, or rogue Islamist groups for over a year under a secret annex to a pact for the withdrawal of all U.S. forces by May 1, three Western officials with knowledge of the agreement told Reuters.

    The U.S. State Department gave no immediate response to Reuters over the existence of any such document. Nor did it have any immediate comment on what the three officials described as a "Taliban ring of protection". Since United States struck a deal with the Taliban in February 2020, paving the way for America to end its longest war, there have been no U.S. combat deaths, and there have been only isolated attacks on U.S. bases.

    Instead, the Taliban intensified attacks on Afghan government forces, and civilian casualties have spiralled.............

    Testing Taliban patience, U.S. President Joe Biden served notice that the U.S. withdrawal would overshoot the May 1 deadline agreed by the previous U.S. administration, while giving an assurance that it would be completed by Sept. 11 - the 20th anniversary of the al Qaeda attacks on the United States.
    UNQUOTE
    American retreat was agreed over a year ago, when Donald Trump was in the White House. The delays were caused by de facto Mutiny of the American high command. The head thug, Mark Milley has had over a year, since February 2020 to do what it takes, moving men & materiel out. He should be given a fair trial and shot or LWOP [ life without parole ] in GITMO. This story was ignored by the Mainstream Media. It is not so exciting, newsworthy as the one about desperate victims of Third World ruffians. The truth came second again.  NB CNN admitted on 1 September that Taliban Members Escorted Americans To Gates At Kabul Airport In Secret Arrangement With US.
