This was the TOP military advisor to Biden just days ago.

Is it time General Milley retire to spend more time with his White Rage?

The United States’ top military leaders on Wednesday touted Afghanistan’s abilities to prevent the Taliban from taking over as the militant terrorist group has made territorial advances amid the United States’ withdrawal from the war-torn country.

Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters during a press conference with Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin that despite the narrative that the Taliban is winning, the Afghan Security Forces “have the capacity to sufficiently fight and defend their country.”

“A negative outcome, a Taliban automatic military takeover, is not a foregone conclusion,” he said. “We will continue to monitor the situation closely and make adjustments as necessary.”

This is a damning image for the Biden administration, and underscores the magnitude
of the humanitarian crisis on the ground. It is unconscionable that the United States
president is nowhere to be found.
