I am afraid that, in my opinion, the
sheer incompetent meddling in and munging
of the military, the trashing of the hierarchy, and
the firings of skilled and competent staff for reasons
not associated with their performance or their proven
ability to perform, and replacement with people of
uncertain skills and abilities before they were certified
as deserving promotions.
That this has so defeated moral, and
attenuated faith, trust, and esprit de corps, that to see
them stationed overseas and subjected to the whiplash
of "on again, off again" White House decisions and
threats of "boots on the ground" and horrendous
attacks would lead to psychological exhaustion of
the troops, accelerated by the lack of food and
subsequent weight losses, leaves me doubting that
the proper operations and preparedness of the
Forces are reliable.
For these reasons, I would think that readiness
and the chain of command might have suffered
sufficiently that the only way to avoid a
catastrophic failure event would have been
to advise the President that on-station forces
could no longer be reliably maintained and
that withdrawals were approaching mandatory
levels of necessity beyond the matter of anyone's
choosing.
It therefore seems to me to be the reason for the
sudden capitulation to the "Memorandum of
understanding", rather than the unconditional
surrender, the President originally insisted he
was demanding.
Now, if any of the speculations I have presented
Here are warranted or can be ascertained as
functional. Then gross mismanagement of the
forces, to the level of endangering the U.S.A.
is underway, and ongoing, and so serious that
discovery and remedial action must be engaged
without any further delay, as there is no longer
any ability to further afford the disintegration
that might follow.
