In the wake of the disastrous Afghanistan evacuation, dozens of retired generals and admirals, almost 90 thus far, have called on Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley to step down, accusing them of “negligence.”
The signatories of the scathing letter, 87 as of last night, a number likely to climb, are from a group calling itself “Flag Officers 4 America” and include former Navy rear admiral and longtime White House physician Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas); retired Navy Rear Adm. John Poindexter, a former national security adviser under President Ronald Reagan; and Army Brig. Gen. Donald Bolduc, a Republican candidate to represent New Hampshire in the U.S. Senate next year.

Nearly 100 retired generals and admirals are demanding that US Defense Secretary (and former Raytheon board member) Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley resign immediately over the botched Afghanistan withdrawal.
"The retired Flag Officers signing this letter are calling for the resignation and retirement of the Secretary of Defense (SECDEF) and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) based on negligence in performing their duties primarily involving events surrounding the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan," reads a Monday letter signed by 90 retired top-ranking military officials.
"As principal military advisors to the CINC (Commander in Chief)/President, the SECDEF and CJCS should have recommended against this dangerous withdrawal in the strongest possible terms," they wrote.
"If they did not do everything within their authority to stop the hasty withdrawal, they should resign." --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to related stories:
