  re: Credit where it's due--
  Sir, are you blind here?---This is a diversion--a calculated weak response to the massive ineptitude this administration has demonstrated--executed in response to the overwhelming negative narrative(and well deserved) backlash to this boggled exit from Afganistan.
  Some have compared this to the Vietnam (Hanoi) Airlift-I will tell you this--that operation essentially went on without a glitch(compared to this current botched operation)--I was there dude, so don't give me any metaphors about how the brass claimed it proceeded--you are listening to the wrong people.
  This current administration has committed clear treasonous activities-they have purposelessly given the enemy our US Citizen, and our allies' identifying data. They have purposelessly given the enemy our military sensitive hardware and operating systems--the military command has failed in their mission to protect this Country, grovelling to the whims of the unhinged -so-called 'Commander in Chief"--without so much as a "Sir, I don't think this is a good Idea"-------
  Wonder why there are so many VETS that have a problem with this!!!

  re: retaliation-
  This is the norm for this administration--a continuation of the failed bengazi debacle--people screaming for help and none was there--because hillary couldn't stand it that her failed "policy" was coming back to haunt her--she(and her boss) sacrificed the lives of those folks because of her callous disregard, and her holier than thou attitude. We are now witnessing the very same policy and character in the current admins actions--they don't seem to learn from history, do they?--but then again--they are NoT interested in their past failings--they are trying to rewrite that--in our schools and in the paid off media--sadly the masses believe this drivel.
  Maybe--just maybe, this time the assholes have finally tripped the turning point--leaving our own behind in a terrorist country is not what the maj of Americans can stomach--turning over our military hardware to terrorists is not something most Americans can stomach--
  It is clear, this administration is "Aiding and Abetting" the enemy - that is clearly defined in our Constitution as Treason---impeachment is not even an option here--Charges of Treason need to be brought for every member of the this corrupt administration--and that most certainly includes the HReps and Senators who support these treasonous actions--

  The ONI directive telling active and retired naval personnel they cannot disrespect Biden, Austin or Milley is nauseating, but not unexpected. The two-star tin-pot who runs ONI is probably at the bottom layer of the PC warriors who were selcted by the Obama administration to take over and "lead" the US military. (I put "lead" in quotes, because the first thing they teach you at Army Officer Candidate School is that if no one is following you, you are not a leader).

  The ONI "leader"obviously knows little about respect. While we all have an obligation to treat each other respectfully, you cannot order someone to respect another.

  Respect, like it's flip side, con tempt is not given, it is earned. I think the British Parliament already expressed my feelings, holding Biden in contempt.

  Mike, it's always interesting to read your articles, your humor is contagious! Although, last few days, have been rather grim; sad news, but thankful you keep us informed. Forgive my skepticism, but the attack on ISIS-K came so soon after Biden's grand standing about "hunting" them down. No details are given and the lies this government has told and all the misleading...sorry, don't buy it. They may have hit something, but I don't believe it's who they say it is...just sayin'. Sincerely, Pru Cox

  Keep it Up Governor: Your voice resonates further than any of us who have served and even though my service was 60 years ago I felt like someone kicked me in the Gut!
  The Firing of another Lt.Col this time Stuart Scheller along with Matthew Lohmeier tells me the Brass O-7 up, may have been to academy they have become Politicized and are now just Political Pawns and they need to RESIGN in Disgrace before another Patriot becomes CIC and FIRES them without benefits.

  Gov Huckabee: I find it interesting that President Trump went on Hannity and stated clearly that he intended to keep the Bagram Airbase open. Bagram is a highly defensible location, unlike the airport at Kabul. Am guessing that: 1) Trump's plan for Afghanistan is on-record and in writing, and thus can be reviewed, analyzed, and compared with Biden's plan (if there is or was one?). 2) Essentially, the same top generals that participated in formulating and agreeing to President Trump's plan are also pretty much the same top generals that are now working for Biden. That takes us to the questions of: 1) What changes of the plan were made? 2) How were they changed? and most importantly, 3) Did the same top generals that bought into President Trump's plan agree to the changes made to get to Biden's obviously failed plan? Would love to see these generals, and others testify before Congress, under oath. Finally, how, and why did we get into a situation where we were relying upon the Taliban for security. True, it is in the Taliban's best interest to help us get out of Afghanistan, but it is even more in their best interest to help us to allow ourselves to get lured into a precarious indefensible position that they could exploit and embarrass us. Trump would NEVER have allowed us to get into such a position. Again, would like to see the top generals and other decision makers testify under oath in front of congress about this fiasco.

  It is so good to hear that some in the military, who have the skills, are doing what MUST be done to save the lives of those left behind, in spite of the recalcitrance and downright resistance of the US State Department and Administration. The obliviousness and disconnected nature of our leaders with the regard to the lives of it's own nationals and others at risk of humanitarian abuses as torture, rape, execution and worse is unfathomable to me. This is supposed to be America, land of the free and home of the brave, you know, that leader during WW1, WW2 and Korea who fought for freedom and the lives of the oppressed?
  SHAME on this leadership. Though their actions are abominable, I pray that their hearts and eyes may be opened to the utter horror that they are enabling by their incompetence.

  Two items discussed....1. We should have sent something substantially larger than a drone to attack the terrorist...we should send air attacks to destroy all, ALL the arms and aircraft left behind and 2. Why don't I believe the State Dept?

  Thank you. As an American and veteran, I flew the Pacific DEW line; AEWBARRONPAC, I am in shock over this destruction of our once wonderful country. The best in history.
