To survive, we must fire them all

12 days ago, I wrote and posted, "Fire them all." Since then, others have agreed.

Kurt Schlichter had a message for Milley and the other members of the Joint Showboats of Staff, "Rip those stars off your pathetic nostalgia costumes and resign. Quit. Tell that crusty Pinocchio in the White House and the faculty lounge Geppettos tugging his strings that you will have no more to do with his human centipede of failure in Kabul.

"It’s not hard – your stars are right there, generals, right on the shoulders of those new uniforms you decided to adopt with the express purpose of evoking World War II and the memory of victory over a modern, peer-competitor military. Maybe, you thought, wearing winner’s gear would ease the pain of getting creamed by a bunch of Seventh Century throwbacks.

"Yeah, we know your boss is a senile old fool with delusions of competence. His failure will be addressed at the ballot box. But your failure, generals and admirals, is something only you can address, at least until President DeSantis comes and separates the wheat from the chaff in the Pentagon."

He's a retired colonel. As an officer and a gentleman, he knows when to be subtle.

We ain't got time for that.

He concluded, correctly, "You won’t do it, because if you were the kind of men who would do it you would not have to be told to do it. But you should do it. It might save a little shred of your dignity. Rip those stars off your shoulders and throw them down on the Resolute Desk."

The last Democrat president to surrender like this was Jefferson Davis.-- excerpt, rest at link above --
