I severed in the armed forces and did 3 tours of duty as a U.S Marine. These leaders of are armed forces are a discrace to the uniform and should be removed. I can't believe he said no regrets, Shamefull.
Levine is a mockery, not just of Admiralty, shame on the pervert Democrats
This army veteran agrees!
The biggest gratitude to all our brave veterans. 🙏❤️🙏 I am so sorry you have to watch this country whimper away from total lack of leadership in the WH! Hang in there - the patriots have YOUR back!
He doesn't regret leaving the Taliban as one of the most well equipped countries in the world. Amazing!
Thank you for your service! My son is in the air force and stationed in Guam and i have zero trust in Lloyd Austin and i believe Milley is a traitor and should be court marshaled for contacting the Chinese. How could these 2 goofs come up withdrawing from Kabul and allowing the Taliban to play TSA. Why did they not use Bagram. Why did they leave all that equipment behind that could have been removed with a more gradual withdrawal. Who actually is responsible for this hairbrained scheme for the withdrawal? I fear for my son's safety and other military service members as they are considered "expendable" by the current and previous Democratic leadership (see Obama/Clinton and Benghazi debacle).
No accountable, no dignity, no responsibility.
Should have said Yes. I regret we had a Lying Crimianl Orange Traitor as President who did the Horrible betrayal deal with the Taliban.
THATS THE AMERICAN WAY SINCE THE END OF WORLD WAR 2
Don’t forget NO HONOR
Describes Traitor Trump perfectly.
@@MA-gy8en Hahahahaha
I am a regular Army vet and it shames me to see what our military has become! "Ask not what your woke leaders can do for you ask instead: Is learning Chinese difficult?"
I think brandon speaks it fluently
I’m not going to ask that. That’s stupid. I’m STILL in the army. I haven’t quit.
Have we found W accountable for starting two pointless wars that killed 5,000+ soldiers and have trillions vanish into thin air? Oh, I"m sorry, he's a Repub so we can't answer those questions.
@@austinshannon4197 What are you serving for? America or a bunch of crooked politicians?
I served 6 years U.S. Army.....looking back I can't believe how naive I was to follow orders without question. Soldiers are not sheep and should not be treated like sheep, but how else are you going to get young men and women to give their lives for corrupt politicians?

Total COVER UP!
And now we all know why no one wants to enlist in the military.
It will take more than that to cover up that big fatass of his.
“No regrets” wow. That’s astonishing.
When the confederacies be reborn These will be the foe They couldn't defeat the taliban in Afghanistan how are they supposed to defeat us? This is going to be a f****** cake walk I've always said that a Civil War in the United States will have millions of dead on both sides but I don't believe that if these are the generals of the military we will face how are they ever supposed to put us down
No regrets mean, he is fallowing the order of congress and president!

Do you regret supporting W when he started this pointless war? How about your support of his war in Iraq?
U should run the navy
That's the MAIN problem with our country right now, there's literally ZERO accountability. Sure, they get chewed out here n there, but that's it. Nobody will see charges , nobody will be fired, nobody will see justice, ever. People rather play politics then actually do the right thing and protect this country and its people above all else. Where did this country go so wrong?? We need to fix this , now!
Election Interference
P e r I o d
....and we allowed it.
After 2016, they knew they have to cheat.
Now all you have is the Lefts media trying to save and protect them. Sad thing is, it's just a handful of corrupt people with ALOT OF SCHEMED POWER.
Their days ARE NUMBERED.
I just can't belive that these are the leaders of our country. What an absolute embarrassment

The people trying to get on planes --- we will never forget. Our country should not let the leaders forget it either. Repulsive!!!

Pretty much what he just said. Generals used to stand up to Clinton when they knew he was screwing up. I guess they all got tossed out and only the cowards are left.
By woke standard, he is a top rate just like the Bidet, his Veep, his administration, the Dem speaker of Senate and the House.
Why do these men have such a hard time making sensible decisions??
Anybody who's ever been in the military knows that military personnel are supposed to take everything with them when they leave nothing gets left behind --and NOBODY IS LEFT BEHIND!!
Got that right. Biden had no plan. The new idiots just stood there waiting for biden to decide. He knew nothing of how to get our military out and the ppl. Nothing between his ears.

Right, because you are expendable, but when your up there where they are sitting, they are politicians
More than $82 BILLION in Military Assets left for the Taliban. How could this have happened, EVER?
Betrayed by top leadership
That's about 8 months worth of equipment and they don't have the parts to maintain them. Are you worried they'll drive across the ocean and invade?
Let's see...ten percent of 82 billion! 8.2 billion dollars right into a Biden pocket, that's how.
Well thats easy. Because the government turns around and needs the MIC to resupply that $82 billion in lost equipment. Thereby generating profit for those companies. Which pays dividends to stockholders. Who happen to be the politicians leaving that equipment behind.
Plus $113 BILLION to Ukraine. Thank you taxpayers and special thanks to the people who voted blue

The question was if he had any regrets over the manner of how the withdrawal was executed that left thirteen service members dead. He admitted that he had none. We very recently had one of the survivors of that bombing testify that he and his unit had eyes on the bomber and could've eliminated the threat but were given no order to engage despite multiple attempts at urging action due to the seriousness of the threat. The chain of command failed to act - perhaps intentionally - and thirteen members of our military are now dead. And Lloyd Austin said he had no regrets. What a joke our military has become under Democrats.
@@AdderTude TRUE
How about the millions killed by the 3 BILLION BOMBS america has dropped on foreign countries? If afghanistan was illegally occupying america, would you feel sympathy if those afghan soldiers died?
To be an american soldier illegal occupying a foreign country - you have already relinquished your rights to any kind of expectations, when you aren't granting others those same rights
He’d have regrets if he’d been on the front lines or in the middle 🥵
That's BLMs for you.
No regrets, no responisibiliies neigher in Afganistan, nor Iraq. So many innocent people killed and no one is accountable and of course no one in front of the court. What a shame!
In the end they will be held accountable. BIG TIME! HOPE IM THERE TO SEE IT.
We have regrets. We regret you were placed in your position. 😢

Blood on Milley and Austin hands and they still are soooooo proud
Austin is so full of pride he can't look past his bloated ego. Not an ounce of humility and a disgrace to his oath of service.

And we worked with them before it doesn’t matter , we turn 1.9 billion Muslims hating U.S. by bombing their cities with a “!shock and awe “ carpet bombing , turning them cities into Stone Age . We are the powerful American military, we work for I$R@€L . We Use our American kids as cannon fodders no Problem . On top we give them billions of cash each year and any weapons for free as they wish . And we lowers our dignity, our fair standing as a world power in the world stage when this thny country dictates to us kills with Impunity the defenseless people with no arms year after year , steal their land steal their homes . Dignity honor . Bz we are the generals of USA and we work mostly for I$R@€L before anything . Now World turned against us we don’t know why ? 😂
Probably not the most devastating, remember their were 2 World Wars, Vietnam, Korea, Iraq...I am sure those might make the top 5. Glad you son made it back and was there to help others, I hope his PTSD is not too debilitating.

No one held accountable.
I have noticed over the last 15 years of my 35 plus years of service that senior officers seldom if ever admit to, or hold themselves accountable for bad decisions or mission failures…. they only shift the blame down and never take any responsibility.
What’s new?
They are politicians in a uniform. Politicians have no honor i'd know of.
Our enemies are inside our gates.
An easy military answer would’ve been, “in our review of the withdrawal, and our after action reviews into that operation, we have learned some valuable lessons which will benefit the department in the future.” I could do his job.
Yea we def ain’t letting none of that shit slide.

Milley embodies the worst of what parts of the military has become.
Interrupting a general of the u.s. army that is answering your question is unacceptable.
They won't even own their mistake.
Why would they regret it? They did exactly what they planned on doing from the start. The human cost and devastation matters very little these types of people. They send their own people to die for their egos and they will do so in Ukraine soon.
Nobody worse in Joe’s gang than these two, except for all of the others.

@@debmcgerrigle3477 Quite right. Had tremendous respect for and confidence in him as a 3-star when he commanded IJC in Afghanistan.

He is also hubristic as hell, no humility, not to mention fat.

THANK YOU !
These people should never ever have been installed in their places and should be made an example of with heavy punishment and confiscating of their assets. Prison and firing squads.
Anybody who's ever planned a family picnic could have done a far better job with the Afghanistan withdrawal. What an embarrassment.
Could you imagine what General Norman Schwarzkopf would have told the members of Congress if he was still alive today.
How can anyone take Milley seriously when he's dressed up with a chest full of participation-ribbons like Idi Amin?
He looks almost as decorated as a North Korean officer.
I see both with different attire and ribbons,not according to military uniforms,and expending 114 million in woke activities
Jealous?
ALL those Generals should be fired. If they REALLY love America so much, they could have the opportunity to RE-ENLIST.
Accountability. We used to be known around the world for holding ppl accountable. Now we have forgotten the meaning of the word.
Have we found W accountable for starting two pointless wars that killed 5,000+ soldiers and have trillions vanish into thin air? Oh, I"m sorry, he's a Repub so we can't answer those questions.
I agree with withdrawing from Afghanistan, but disagree completely how Milley and Austin planned and conducted it. They were so anxious to start the war in Ukraine, that they left Afghanistan in haste. Austin should be removed so he can return to Raytheon, where he’ll be handsomely rewarded for expanding the defense budget to $842 billion. Milley should be removed too; he’s too woke to be JCOS chair.
Milley promised to warn China if they were gonna be attacked. That's grounds for treason.
Define "woke". Just for kicks, did you know that the withdrawal started in the Trump administration? Including the release of a couple hundred Taliban from prisons? Something went wrong but it is now to move on, war is hell and the US has finally left a country after 12 years. Just a reminder, there are no US troops in Ukraine.
Afghanistan withdrawal was 2 years before Ukraine

Have we found W accountable for starting two pointless wars that killed 5,000+ soldiers and have trillions vanish into thin air? Oh, I"m sorry, he's a Repub so we can't answer those questions.
Where did this so called General MILLEY get his FRUIT SALAD???
Gen.Milley should resign and Sec.Austin should be impeached
I've said it numerous times. Stopping the practice of relieving commands for failing and integrity violations, after the Korean war, has led to the trash military leadership we have today.
I've said it numerous times that our failure to prosecute president Nixon resulted in our current situation where nobody is ever held accountable.
I'm probably posting an unpopular opinion, but if you really want to remove politicization of the military, you have to ruthlessly put the teeth back into Article 88 and start by making an example of a 4-star instead of allowing him to "retire with dignity". The last Article 88 prosecution was nearly 40 years ago and it was an Air Force Major. Even with the President being Clinton, you still have to set and enforce a standard.
You two hit the nail on the head. Doesn't matter what laws or regs you have on the books if you don't enforce them or treat offenders with kid gloves.
For example CSM B perez, convicted rapist and pedo gets to stay in because higher ups elected to retain him. He should get a dishonorable discharge and so should the trash that elected to retain him.
@@davidhfranz After the new 1st battle of Manassas you will see heads begin to roll. And there will be another 1st Manassas and might not be at Manassas but a Civil War is inevitable in our country and if these are the men that we are to face a Southern victory is assured
people won't join to fight for the corrupt GOV. no matter how much money you put in for commercials. GEN Z is not stupid.
Thankful to hear this ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Come on Gen Z🙏
GEN Z is making tik toks twerking, spreading woke info on gender pronouns, smoking the herb somewhere on the streets, tweeting over celebrity gossips listening to rap,hip-hop, or taking the opiodes. Yes welcome to the American dream!
Gen Z is also not strong enough to make it past Basic Training, if they can first pass the entrance exam.....
The five minute cap only matters when Austin states they are directed by Congress 😂.
this is how America congress works, when one realized he doesnt have ground to discuss, he will
1. ask a yes/no question, and refuse to accept any elaboration.
2. interrupt the other party in advance, before they could establish a valid argument.
3. always control the situation in a hush denial mode.
4. do not hesitate to bully his way thru.
5. or ask stupid questions like with tiktok. 😂😂
Anybody else feel like they don’t get their moneys worth for the taxes we pay?
