Comments on: How most Democrats view the Afghanistan pullout https://thenewneo.com/2021/08/25/how-most-democrats-view-the-afghanistan-pullout/ A blog about political change, among other things Thu, 26 Aug 2021 20:23:42 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Geoffrey Britain https://thenewneo.com/2021/08/25/how-most-democrats-view-the-afghanistan-pullout/#comment-2573286 Thu, 26 Aug 2021 20:23:42 +0000 https://www.thenewneo.com/?p=109805#comment-2573286 I have some questions for every Colonel in the U.S. Military.

I have none for Generals because to gain that first star, far more often than not requires political whoredom.

I would ask;

Does an oath sworn to defend the American Constitution from all enemies both foreign and domestic… mean anything if those who have sworn that oath stand by and do nothing as that Constitution is betrayed and eradicated?

Can the U.S. Military retain any honor, if it continues to follow orders that effectively destroy the lives of thousands of Americans in a foreign land?

Does honoring the chain of command and honoring civilian control of the military supercede defending the Constitution?

When the U.S. Military’s upper echelons and its civilian leadership essentially render aid and comfort to America’s declared enemies… when does ‘following orders’ become collaboration?

“Masterminding”, no less.

Your move, Mr. Trump….

I’m surprised they aren’t blaming the CIA or the reformed Northern Alliance.

ISIS-K is making a bid.

We can also confirm at least one other explosion at or near the Baron Hotel, a short distance from Abbey Gate. We will continue to update.”

Biden is abandoning thousands of Americans, Japanese, British, Germans, French, Afghans, and others, to horrific fates.
Expect videos soon. Taliban have long habit of beating passwords from victims, raping men and children, while making videos with their own phones, and sending the videos to everyone on the contact list.
