Before I make my points in today’s letter, I would feel remised if I did not briefly respond to jabs a fellow writer took at my letter, as well as that of two other “Letters” colleagues. The characterization she had given about Joe Biden being a man of integrity and a centrist Democrat are laughable and unserious. Joe Biden is a political chameleon who will be whatever he needs to be to survive 50 years on K street. His early affiliations with segregationists including the Grand Cyclops of the KKK himself Sen. Robert Byrd are well-known, as well as his only legislative achievement, the 1994 crime bil, which spelled disaster for the Black nuclear family structure and has plagued the Black community ever since! I suggest my critic take a more sobering look at her president’s history. She may find Joe Biden is regarded as the most prolific “pay-to-play” politician to grace the halls of Congress.
It now seems we’ve lost another war, after the taxpayers have spent over $1 trillion to equip and train the Afghan Army, it took about 20 minutes for them to lay down their weapons and pledge allegiance to the Taliban, before we even go out of the country. The obvious strategic and tactical planning of our withdrawal from the 20-year war only highlights our military failures over the past 76 years. The fact is that our engagement in the last four major conflicts have left us a dismal record of one draw and three losses. Who’s at fault? I think this governmental leviathan has made numerous bad decisions. We escalated the war in Vietnam as they escalated the Gulf Wars as they stepped over one another making terrible decisions in Afghanistan. The parade of incompetence goes on. The testimony of our top generals and admirals during a recent oversight committee exposes their disdain and abject disregard of our Congress.
Our military leaders are in line with CRT! They are exploring “White Rage” in our military as we search for a way to unravel the total collapse of our governmental response to an all too familiar panic, trying to avoid an inevitable hostage situation. How far do we bend to a rabble of tribal factions unable to even write their own language? Maybe we ought to think this out. I’m not sure we are trained to combat a force who has such a disregard of human life. A collection of tribal misfits hell bent on saving a pile of rocks. You can’t beat these people. No wonder why they call Afghanistan the graveyard of empires.
Our top generals testified before Congress. A collection of quasi politicians and a fraternity of “go-along” want-a-be solider yes men. The top general sat indigent and obtuse as he was questioned by Congress about the apparent “CRT” teachings of our military. If the highest levels of our military are “IN” on this Wokeness mental pathology, how can we ever stand up to our advisories?
