Consequently, they continue to believe that their views hold sway over the proceedings of the impending Trump administration. They also remain under the impression that their indignation carries weight.
The latest cause for their ire? As reported by RedState, President Donald Trump is allegedly planning to summon retired military officials for court-martial over the botched Afghanistan withdrawal. This news has triggered a wave of fury among the media and some former generals.
November 21, 2024
The proposal to recall retired officers to active duty for court-martial over the Afghan withdrawal is seen as a potential disaster for military morale and a political landmine for Trump. The Uniform Code of Military Justice, a codified Congressional statute, operates under Federal law, not at the whim of the President.

NBC News reported that the plan involves recalling retired officials to active duty for court-martial. Retired U.S. Army General McCaffrey, now a media personality, slammed the move as "utter nonsense" during an appearance on MSNBC. He further claimed that this is a political attack of the highest hypocrisy.

However, McCaffrey's perspective is arguably flawed. The notion that morale would be negatively impacted by holding these partisan flag officers accountable is baseless. In fact, it could be argued that nothing would boost the spirits of the U.S. military rank-and-file more than witnessing the rules being applied fairly. The lack of punishment for military leaders responsible for the Afghanistan withdrawal debacle is a blot on America's history.

The upper echelons of the Pentagon, much like the civilian bureaucracy, view themselves as invincible and beyond the reach of the electorate. This attitude could explain why the once formidable U.S. military has failed to secure victory in a war for decades. The generals are as politically driven as any politician, willing to sacrifice their comrades to curry favor with a Democrat president. Gen. Mark Milley serves as a prime example of this behavior.

Jesse Kelly offered a compelling counter to McCaffrey's tirade, stating that nothing would boost the morale of the troops more than seeing a flag officer face real punishment, just like the men on the ground. He pointed out the resentment created among the troops by the officers' exclusive club.

Despite this, the media is striving to spin this into a scandal. In addition to recalling and court-martialing generals like Milley, Trump also plans to overhaul the current general class. Meet the Press labeled this as a "politically-motivated purge."

The media's defense of the Department of Defense is evident in a MeetThePress clip. The reporter refers to the pursuit of accountability for the Afghan debacle as a "threat" and expresses confusion over why anyone would think the generals messed up. The reporter also describes the firing of woke generals as a "politically-motivated purge."

Indeed, it is politically motivated. The general class is riddled with left-wing partisans who prioritize politics over the rank-and-file, sometimes with fatal outcomes. A purge is imminent, and no amount of outcry from the media will halt it. It's time to brace for impact.
