Secretary Austin and General Mark Milley should resign immediately
By Jack Wedam
If Sec. Austin was clueless, Milley should have informed him. (The role of the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is codified in law at 10 U.S. Code §163). In late June, if Gen. Milley did not know what was about to happen in Afghanistan, he was derelict in his duties. If he did know and did nothing, he is complicit. If either of them knew and did not formally document his objections, the blood of thousands of innocent Afghans is on his hands.
American citizens and Afghans were deserted and left to the Taliban. The rage is just beginning. Gen. Milley was playing politics by virtue-signaling about Critical Race Theory and defending against being "woke." Instead, he should have been orchestrating an orderly withdrawal.
I believe that both Sec. Austin and Gen. Milley are directly responsible for deserting our allies in the middle of the night, which led to the collapse of the Afghanistan military and government.
