What a sad legacy that we have on our hands.
Despite uncommon valor and bravery on the part of our fighting men, the leadership have let us down or betrayed us — depending on how you look at it.
+1 LL. Military strategy for winning and politics will never mix well.
That’s about as plainly-spoken as possible. Pity no one will listen but us old squids.
I’m no squid. Old is a different matter.
Speaking truth… too bad no one will listen.
All- Yep, it will be ignored… again, and again until it’s too late!
I’ve resigned myself to two things my Father did:
When asked about Vietnam, we always said that every time he left, we were winning.
And, hell, I probably know some of the guys that will be flying the evac Chinooks when our embassy in Kabul falls.
Pops had fished several of the Operation Frequent Wind pilots out of various non-approved helicopter landing areas.
SPE- Yep, true… on ALL counts!
It’s too bad that we don’t have someone, anyone, in the Obama’s regime that will be as straight and forthcoming that this Admiral is. And he is absolutely right on everything he said.
BTW, Rev. Paul, I’m and old squid, too. 5-1/2 years on an ice breaker.
Ed- Well, you also listen… 🙂
Scottie- With his lackeys around, there is no way it would get to him anyway… sigh. And thanks for your service!
I would vote for him for President. Somebody had “something” in Weinberger, like a polaroid or something.
I bet Bill Clinton has a stack of polaroids from his trips to Jeffery Epstein’s private Caribbean sex-party island…
