Afghanistan Withdrawal: Call For Resignations and March On Washington

In an open letter from the group "Flag Officers 4 America," the retired generals argue Austin and Milley showed "negligence in performing their duties" during the botched exit from Afghanistan.

Members of the group, who describe themselves as "retired U.S. generals and admirals defending the Constitution," also wrote Austin and Milley must be held accountable for their actions that have stranded hundreds of Americans and Afghan allies in hostile territory as "de facto hostages of the Taliban."

The generals also argued Austin and Milley should have counseled President Biden against the swift exit from the region and resigned in protest if he did not abide by their recommendation.

"A fundamental principle in the military is holding those in charge responsible and accountable for their actions or inactions. There must be accountability at all levels for this tragic and avoidable debacle," wrote the group.

"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."

I personally think that resigning after such a major screw up would be the honorable thing to do.

On this one YMMV depending on your personal politics, but it seemed worth sharing and I was kind of surprised I hadn't seen a thread yet.

I agree. Something this bad should have never happened. The top generals running this and Biden should all resign/ be out of a job.


They have caused many people, including many Americans, and American service members to die, made the US look weak on a national scale, and seemed not to care at all..

Biden is a complete failure of a President. He is literally the worst President in American history and it has only been 7 months...

I hope people protest this BS that is going on...

I’m just glad we are out of that ****hole. **** Afghans we gave them 20 years of training and equipment etc and TRILLIONS of dollars and thousands of American lives and they didn’t do **** to protect themselves. If they don’t give a **** about fighting the taliban then why should we?

They obviously don’t care about being led by them and didn’t want us there in the first place. I give 0 ****s about that mountainous ****hole of a country at this point.

LOL at thinking this happened because of Austin and Milley.

This was in the works since the Afghan Gov. and Afghan Military were formed 20 years ago.


The Afghan Government was corrupt from its inception. The Afghan Military were cowards from its inception - they were always going to surrender the $Billions$ of equipment and hardware to the Taliban at the first sight of trouble.


LESSON: Do NOT Nation Build. Stop Exporting Freedom at our Expense. If they want it, they'll fight for it.
Muslims don't care about freedom, they only care about freedom to practice their brand of Islam (Shia vs. Shiite)
Chinese don't care about their own freedom.
Slavs don't care about their own freedom.

Be allies with Freedom-Loving countries - not North Korea.
Only few countries care about freedom - Western & Central Europe and India to name a few.

The overwhelming majority wanted to leave Afghanistan. The overwhelming majority didnt want to leave in such a potato fashion....

Even if you cut out the human factor (US/Afghan citizens) the sheer stupidity of "gifting" BILLIONS of hardware and arming a generation of jihadist cant be measured.

If there are people that truly dont think this is going to blowback on America, its interests and its allies in the most awful ways, they are completely lost.

Multiple officials should resign.

I've said it before and I will say it again. Everyone knew the withdrawal was going to be bad, but it shouldn't have been this bad.

If the average American actually had a glimpse into how retarded some people in the military are, including in the officer corps, this wouldn't be such if a shock to them. Spend more time worrying about how what color the poster will be for this months diversity display (dead fukin serious) than actually doing **** that matters.

Remember high school and the arts and crafts projects you did to support causes and the like? That's the military.

Austin, Milley, and Biden were all in command and it happened on their watch. It was never going to be pretty, but tens of thousands of Americans left behind to be murdered is absolutely outrageous.

How many Russian citizens did they leave behind exactly? How many billions in military equipment did they provide their enemy on withdrawal?

The overall war was worse for the Soviets but if you're going to say their withdrawal was worse, you need to back it up. I'm having trouble imagining a more grotesque cluster**** than the one to which the current administration has led us.

You should learn some history before you make claims like this.

It took them 9 months to get out,523were killed, they were begging the UN for help, and they pleaded with the CIA to stop helping their enemies. Publicly.

Maybe you should start by asking why Trump let out 5,000 Taliban veterans and leadership before he left office.

You made the claim and provided zero evidence, the burden is on you. Your yardstick is 523 Russians killedby the end of the withdrawal. We'll see how it works out for the US citizens left behind by this administration.

How many billions of dollars in materiel did the Soviets leave behind?
