To the Younger Colonels at the Pentagon: What Are You Going to Do?

Editor's note: Why the younger colonels? Because they have more at stake than corporate generals beholding to their corporate masters who they were likely profitting off. Or maybe they should go back to West Point and the Air Force Academy and get advanced degrees in Marxism (see The Fraud of Marxism) and "woke" gender studies to advance their military careers? Sounds defeatist we know, but when retired flag officers speak their mind that's usually where it stays. Why not you retired generals take your experience and go back to individual states to organize state militias with some serious teeth instead of writing letters? Or take the cue from this ex-military officer. Another thing. How many of these retired generals benefited and made their careers in Iraq and Afghanistan? A little late for writing letters isn't it? What these generals are really saying in this letter because they are "woke", is to keep fighting ISIS now miraculously reconstituted as ISIS-K. The letter is obfuscation. They are all indicted. That's just the nature of the Pentagon beast.

Almost 90 Retired Flag Officers Demand Mark Milley, Lloyd Austin Resign After Afghanistan Debacle

AUGUST 30, 2021 | By Jordan Davidson

Nearly 90 retired U.S. generals and admirals penned an open letter asking Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley to resign from their positions following their "negligence in performing their duties primarily involving events surrounding the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan."

"As principal military advisors to the CINC [Commander-in-Chief]/President, the SECDEF and CJCS should have recommended against this dangerous withdrawal in the strongest possible terms," the letter states. "If they did not do everything within their authority to stop the hasty withdrawal, they should resign. Conversely, if they did do everything within their ability to persuade the CINC/President to not hastily exit the country without ensuring the safety of our citizens and Afghans loyal to America, then they should have resigned in protest as a matter of conscience and public statement."

This “hasty retreat,” the letter continues, not only left thousands of vulnerable Americans and Afghan allies stranded at the hands of the Taliban but also contributed to the “catastrophic” loss of "billions of dollars in advanced military equipment and supplies falling into the hands of our enemies."

"The consequences of this disaster are enormous and will reverberate for decades beginning with the safety of Americans and Afghans who are unable to move safely to evacuation points; therefore, being de facto hostages of the Taliban at this time. The death and torture of Afghans has already begun and will result in a human tragedy of major proportions," the letter says. "The damage to the reputation of the United States is indescribable. We are now seen, and will be seen for many years, as an unreliable partner in any multinational agreement or operation. Trust in the United States is irreparably damaged."

This damaged trust, the retired generals and admirals argue, gives confidence to U.S. enemies who “are emboldened to move against America due to the weakness displayed in Afghanistan."

"China benefits the most followed by Russia, Pakistan, Iran, North Korea and others. Terrorists around the world are emboldened and able to pass freely into our country through our open border with Mexico," the letter states.

The letter also points out how military leadership's focus on "wokeness" is hurting the viability of U.S. troops and the military as an institution.

Remarkable isn't it? The complicit rewarding their own. That's like officers in Vietnam writing purple heart recommendations for each other.

Here is an urgency to the Taliban in Afghanistan. Brace yourselves because all those left behind assets are going to foment a civil war in Afghanistan and it will bring untold bloodshed, death and violence. The drone missile attack on an alleged Taliban terrorist driving a bomb-loaded car hit outside the Kabul airport was a staged event to kick off a new round of a "reign of terror."

Despite whatever General Michael Flynn has been involved with over the years, the point is big tech is taking over banking. That must not be allowed to happen. Community banks must be established now in order to head this off. Maybe Michael Flynn can be contacted to work on establishing a community bank where he lives as a test case and a springboard for the rest of America. What say you, General Flynn?
