Stephen Green reminded readers today that the Soviet evacuation of Afghanistan went without leaving hostages and billions of dollars worth of equipment behind.
Green wrote, "The last soldier of the Soviet army to leave Afghanistan was Colonel-General Boris Gromov, who marched at the back of a column of armored vehicles across the Hairatan Friendship Bridge connecting Afghanistan to the Soviet Union.
"Presumably, Gromov was not happy with the outcome of that decade-long war. Crossing back into the Uzbek SSR, he cursed at reporters trying to interview him. He later explained that his words had been directed at 'the leadership of the country, at those who start wars while others have to clean up the mess.'"
Gromov was competent.
Notice that he had his troops drive their tanks home.
Notice that he was the last man out.
Notice that he did not come home in a casket like our 13 Marines did.
No one from the Biden administration met the plane that carried them to Dover Air Force Base. Biden would have had to travel all the way to Delaware to pay his respects.
Biden was too busy making up excuses for his massive failure.
The Taliban won without firing a shot. Sun Tzu said, "The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting." What was true 2,500 years ago is true today.
The failure is not all on Biden. Silly Milley -- who defied President Trump very publicly -- bears much of the blame for not protecting his troops. He gave up Bagram without firing a shot, an act that led to the swift Fall of Kabul.
Bryan Preston said, "Gen. Mark Milley's Bagram Blunder Should End His Military Cosplay Act."
Cosplay.
Milley is only 6 medals away from being a North Korean general.
A reader had another army in mind, saying, "I always wondered why the Pentagon outfitted our troops in berets. So French!"
Taking care of your troops gets you kicked out of the club. Allen West had to accept an Article 15 and retire for protecting his soldiers. A lieutenant colonel at the time, he may have been the highest ranking person in the Army to ever accept an Article 15 non-judicial punishment.
He told a military court, "If it's about the lives of my soldiers at stake, I'd go through hell with a gasoline can."
Milley looks down upon his soldiers as white supremacists. He would send them to hell with a gasoline can -- and then miss their return in a casket. He is too busy reading Marx and being woke to bother with doing his job.
The Soviets withdrew the last of their troops and their equipment from Afghanistan on February 15, 1989.
The Soviet Union collapsed two years later.
I hope we do not have to wait that long to have this election-stealing regime to end.
The people could end it tomorrow.

They tried that January 6th. The Democrats found a way to turn it against the patriots.
DeleteHell the tree of liberty needs to be watered with the blood of tyrants.
DeleteVeritas for the win.
DeleteThey did it wrong on purpose. That was the plan. To make it painful to the American people, and let the world think that the U.S. was a paper tiger. Globalists did this on purpose.
DeleteOur "Defense Department" seems to be a NON-Defence department. My Magic 8-Ball tells me "Expect many military retirements". I got a 40-year head start.
ReplyDeleteUntil 1947, the Defense Department was known as the War Department. Let's restore its original name and make its people winners again.

ReplyDeleteOf course an Occupation Junta that installed itself by stealing peoples' choices--even the ballots of servicemen--would see nothing wrong with stealing peoples' choices on vaccines also--and especially those of servicemen.
Indeed, wrecking the military services may well be the main motive why this Occupation Government placed itself authority.
And now we learn that not only did Biden release the terrorist killers, deputize the Taliban, supply them with an armory, abandon our allies, surrender the airbase we need and create a new Hostage Crisis, he even gave them the C-4 used in the attack on our troops.
This wasn't a war. It was a giant Money Laundering Scam, the Global War for Grift.
That's why we made our troops sneak out of Bagram Airport in the middle of the night, abandoning our Afghan allies to a pre-determined fate. That's exactly what all confidence men and bunco artists do--skip town in the middle of the night. Although most con artists don't have a chest full of medals or a Constitution Desk in their Donald Trump's Oval Office.
That may be the biggest lesson of all:
This is precisely why we used to let the People chose their own public servants, not let the Government choose their own Government.
All This Madness Will Never Stop until that Madness is.
I think this assessment that the surrender is a scam is accurate. Likely Biden is laundering $$ as part of the ransom that he'll pay. The Deep State has a well-armed opponent with which it can start a new war. It's win-win in the Swamp, just as planned.
DeleteNO ONE met the plane in Dover? Are you kidding me?....
ReplyDeleteThose who stole the 2020 election do not care about their country.
DeleteRemember hillary met the plane carrying the dead from Benghazi. What would have biden said to the families? This was all because of a video Trump put on utube.
DeleteIt is a disgrace that no one from the. Down regime wells their, especially Xiden.
DeleteOn the other hand, he didn’t deserve to be there to pay respects. He is a POS and should be embarrassed to be seen in any capacity with the military.
Biden hangs tough on ending the war. And the country is with him.
ReplyDeleteBiden held his ground, refusing to be stampeded by Democratic critics, NATO allies, Republican hawks or media demanding he extend the deadline for departure until all Americans were out.
Biden wouldn't know which way to go on a one-way street. It seems clear to me nobody with real authority in this government cared what happens in Afghanistan. The American people do not appreciate how this was handled.
DeleteWhich country, knifedropper? Communist, Red China? Iran? Not the United States of America! Your Sleepy Joe and his Swampmasters just humiliated our Country and our brave Men and Women in uniform in front of the entire world, on purpose. Have you ever heard the phrase "Leave no one behind?" The Devil loves chaos. The Swamp has cooperated, again. The World will pay the price. All who are "with" Sleepy J and the Swamp are ignorant, Evil, or both.

ReplyDeleteI was heartend by a huge crowd at our city hall.
ReplyDeleteProtesting Kate the Incompetent and the mask mandate local sjw called the police. They didn't show.
Fire department did just to watch left on a grass fire call later the whole of west end of LaGrande, was filled.
Oh and it turned into an anti Biden rally, too. There were several Blacks, Hispanics and Asians there too.The Dems have awakened a sleeping giant . As in:"Hulk smash!"
Like a wild fire, May similar events spread north, south, east and west.
DeleteReading Victor Davis Hansen's "History of World War 2" I was struck by the comment that during the many actions of the a global War, the military leaders always showed more concern for the welfare of their troops than the political leaders who directed them. Some things never change, right?

ReplyDeleteColonel David Hackworth's columns about the "perfumed princes in the pentagon" are as valid today as when he wrote them in the 1990s. Great soldier.
ReplyDeleteI get paid over $87 per hour working from home with 2 kids at home. I never thought I'd be able to do it but my best friend earns over 10k a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The potential with this is endless.
ReplyDeleteHere’s what I've been doing.... ������.����������������.������
Biden, Harris, Milley, Austin, and Blinken -must- be charged with treason and accessory to war crimes.
ReplyDeleteThey have provided aid & comfort to the enemy, with ordinance, weapons, aircraft, and LISTS of people.
I expect 2 Republican members of Congress to accuse them of -treason-. It only requires two witnesses.
That's a pretty damning article, no pun intended with the Hell references.
ReplyDeleteBut it's needed to put these types of situations in context. This was a horrible military operation. I can only assume that being executed so badly was a purposeful act. To what end I don't know other than to shame the United States.
At any rate. These anti-American members of our government need to be removed and shamed themselves. They are not the kind of people that should be in charge of anything. Not because they are incompetent, but because they are traitors. There is no other excuse for what happened in Afghanistan.
If they were given ridiculous orders from civilian leaders, they should have pushed back. Or at least had the balls to make it happen in a wise manor. What's going to happen to them if they do a good job and leave the country without incident? Are they going to court marshal them for doing a good job.
This is inexcusable. These brass should be shamed everywhere they go!
You mean to tell me the Soviet retreat Was amicable? BS! look back people. You kids that were not alive then, read up kiddies the Soviets got humiliated!
