Flag Officers 4 America are retired military leaders who pledged to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Although retired from active service, each feels bound by that oath to do what they can, in their present capacity, to protect our nation from the threats to her freedom.<\/p>\n

90 or so members have signed a letter calling for the resignation of SecDef Austin and CJCS Milley, for their abysmal performance in the recent Afghanistan draw down.<\/p>\n

Nearly 90 retired generals and admirals call on Lloyd Austin and Mark Milley to resign<\/h3>\n

by Zachary Faria, Commentary Fellow<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nearly 90 retired generals and admirals have called on Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley to resign after overseeing the debacle that was President Joe Biden\u2019s withdrawal from Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

The letter, released by the group Flag Officers 4 America, states that \u201cthe hasty retreat has left an unknown number of Americans stranded in dangerous areas controlled by a brutal enemy.\u201d The group\u2019s letter notes that Austin and Milley \u201cwere the top two military officials in a position to recommend against the dangerous withdrawal\u201d and that even if they did all they could to prevent Biden from going forward with it, they should still resign out of conscience.<\/p>\n

Two weeks ago, Austin said that the Defense Department would move everyone we possibly can out of Afghanistan \u201cuntil the clock runs out or we run out of capability.\u201d This was not such a hard promise to keep, yet it has already been broken even though the clock has not run out. Moreover, the greatest military in the world should not \u201crun out of capability\u201d at all when it comes to helping Americans stranded in a country controlled by the Taliban.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, anywhere from 100 to 200 Americans who wanted to leave the country were stranded by the Biden administration by its own numbers. Austin also confirmed that the Taliban were preventing some Americans from getting to the airport.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sadly, there is small chance these losers will actually do the honorable thing.<\/p>\n

Thanks, OAM<\/p>\n

Which is a nice segue into addressing certain comments posted yesterday evening. I’m sure you’ve noticed, TAH is not a popularity contest, nor is it a democracy. It is an Open Forum, where all Vets and other interested parties can come to exchange views. That these exchanges can get heated is a given. One such comment directed at OAM raised an impressive tide of invective against the commentator, including demands for banning.<\/p>\n

Dave has entrusted me with Admin privileges, up to and including use of the ban hammer. That is not my go-to consequence as a rule, but I have used it in the past, and likely will again.<\/p>\n

Just not now. Lars’ comment was ill conceived, boorish and flat inaccurate. He also will revert to “Ready, Fire, Aim” mode when backed up. That his comments are for the most part unpopular is standard.<\/p>\n

None of these are punishable offenses. If I banned every swinging Richard here who spoke ill of another member in the heat of a flame war, TAH would be a mighty lonely place. Boring, too.<\/p>\n

TAH FNG Tab states:<\/p>\n

For moderation\/banning, the Administrator acts as judge, jury, appeal authority \u2013 and when necessary, executioner (speaking figuratively, of course).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One has to work very hard for me to invoke the ban hammer. The quickest path to oblivion is making threats of violence- most other offences can be handled as adults, on a case-by-case basis. Hopefully they are resolved without resorting to more draconian measures.<\/p>\n

Any who disagree with the way I conduct business here is welcome to file a grievance with Management. I’ll personally ensure the email gets to the right in-box.<\/p>\n

Back to your regularly scheduled flame war. Have a TAH day.
