My latest in PJ Media:
In any sane and patriotic American administration, the generals who enforced diversity and wokeness upon the U.S. military all summer instead of planning the details of a safe and orderly withdrawal from Afghanistan would have already been fired and be facing trials for dereliction of duty and worse. But this is the Biden administration, and that means that Milley and company will probably just have to find space on their already crowded uniforms for a few more ribbons and medals.
On Friday, Al Jazeera English correspondent Kimberly Halkett asked White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki: “Does [the president] believe he was given bad advice? And will he ask for any resignations of his generals given the high cost of American and Afghan lives?”
Psaki’s response was unequivocal: “No to both of those questions. I think that what the president looks at the events of yesterday as is a tragedy and one that was felt viscerally by the leaders of the military as well. Losing members of your men and women working for you from the service branches is devastating. It is a reflection on all of them and the people on the ground that they are continuing to implement this mission even under difficult and risky circumstances.”
So the White House is now on record: Old Joe Biden was not given bad advice. It was a terrific idea for the U.S. to abandon Bagram Air Base in the dark of night, without informing our Afghan allies. This made the commercial airport in Kabul the only option for getting Americans out of the country and set the stage for the bombings Thursday. Also setting the stage was the fact that Biden’s handlers decided to heed another bit of good advice, and didn’t prioritize getting Americans out, preferring instead to bring 30,000 Afghans to the U.S., vetted only by woke officials who fervently believe that Islam is a religion of peace that has nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism. Terrific idea! Most of them will likely vote Democratic, and that’s what matters, right? The advice was all good!
And so no generals will be held responsible for the wrongheadedness and mismanagement that led to the murder of thirteen Americans on Thursday. Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, will not be asked to resign even though he admitted that he saw none of this coming, saying on August 18: “There was nothing that I or anyone else saw that indicated a collapse of this army and this government in 11 days.”
There is more. Read the rest here.
Infidel says
The generals won’t be gone until the next GOP president gets elected. At that point, they can jump on their own, or get fired
gravenimage says
I hope so, Infidel.
James Lincoln says
Infidel,
Unless the organic and cyber fraud from the 2020 US Presidential Election is fixed, it will be impossible for a Republican to be elected president.
Infidel says
Very true, but it depends on whether Republicans get to win governorships in states like Georgia and Pennsylvania

White House Says Woke Generals Will NOT Be Asked to Resign in the Wake of the Kabul Bombings
…………..
Of course they won’t be–no surprise here.
revereridesagain says
They will be designated “teflon” and given a free pass “for reasons of national security”. Seen it before, expect to see it again.
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
Another member of the brain trust, General H.R. McMaster, was interviewed today and happened to mention that the Islam the Taliban practice does not reflect true Islam. Again, we see where the problem lies. When even generals won’t acknowledge the nature of the enemy and what inspires them then we have only the brave boots on the ground to defend us from the Brown, Islam inspired, Supremacists.
Alfredo says
That is indeed the biggest obstacle preventing the Western nations from dealing effectively with Islamic supremacists. The obstinate refusal to acknowledge the true nature of the murderous cult Islam truly is. The Western elites boundless stupidity lies in their refusal to recognize the true nature of the enemy, and therefore it renders them incapable of mounting a proper defense against the never ending attacks. In their willful blindness, they refuse to see the ugly reality.
As Lao Tzu said long ago, “Know thy enemy.”
Instead the elites and that includes the military elites, have swallowed the big fat lie that “Islam is the religion of peace.”
How many more atrocities must the targets of their never ending hatred, the kafir (infidel) endure, until it dawns in the minds of these willfully blind elites, that Islam is NOT the religion of peace, as the Muslim Brotherhood front organizations keep predicating after every single murderous attack?
Frankly it is astonishing the boundless stupidity that afflicts the elites.
They have become as the song aptly puts it, “comfortably numb”
Do this people ever bother to read the sources of their “holy hatred” the Qur’an and the Hadith, Tafsir etc.
It is doubtful because otherwise they would not act like dodos. It is the soldiers and their families and all the targets of this hateful cult who know what they’re dealing with.
I take the opportunity to extend my heart felt condolences to the families of the fallen heroes. May their souls rest in peace in the knowledge they did not die in vain. Their sacrifice will serve as a wake up call to the sleep walking zombies who still believe in the grotesque lie that Islam is the religion of peace.
Westman says
“…. the Islam the Taliban practice does not reflect true Islam”?
This is like saying Jesus’ apostles didn’t reflect true Christianity. The Taliban are living exactly what the Quran and Hadith require.They didn’t invent Sharia .Law
We couldn’t give equality to Afghan women, we couldn’t build a democracy, the Afghan army wouldn’t fight for democratic rule – because all these things are opposed by the Quran and Hadith. There was never a chance from the beginning, after 9/11. Women holding up a ink-stained voting finger changes nothing when Islam is the ideology.

Spot on, Westman.
Jerry says
They are needed by the Godless Progressives to further destroy the USA
Johnny B says
It seems like the American Army had been struck with temporary insanity and then all of a sudden “BOOM”, reality struck. Now we will see if they can come back in their right mind. However, this is probably going to be difficult as long as America itself is ruled by deranged people.
James Lincoln says
Johnny B,
For “normal” leaders, this would be a wake-up call.
For “normal” leaders…
Mike 2 says
Islam is the religion of peace. If you all surrender to the bastards, you shall have peace. You won’t be happy but it will be some Wogs’ idea of peace.
Dogman58 says
General Mush Mouth Milley and his partner Brig. Gen. William D. Hank Taylor…Oh, yea and ‘WOKE’ 4 Star Gen. Lloyd James Austin III……LOSER’S !!! ….I would not let these so called Military Men take care of a dog kennel…much less lead Soldiers or Marines…..just sayin’
owensgate says
It begs the question no one is answering, “How is it possible these 07’s and above achieved their commission by NOT KNOWING “Warfare 101, Lesson #1”, “Take and keep the High Ground, NEVER leave anyone behind…”? Who are the traitors running our Service Academies, Annapolis, West Point?
David M says
Well it continues the precedent set after 9/11, so nothing new here. We were told on 9/11 18 hijackers completely outsmarted the might of the US defences. And after that seemingly epic failure not one person was fired, in fact the two main generals involved received promotions. Hmmmm.
