Former US Military Commander Complains: He Has Never Seen Such Absurdity in 40 Years of Service...
When the American media reported that General Hedges had gone to great lengths to urgently recall over 800 generals back to the country, possibly just to deliver an "inspiring" speech, some retired US military generals finally could not hold back.
On the 26th, Mark Hertling, a retired US Army Major General and former commander of the US Army in Europe, publicly criticized Hedges, stating, "The enemies of the United States are all watching the US make a fool of themselves," he said, adding that in his 40 years of service, he had never seen such absurdity.
In short, in his article, Mark Hertling thoroughly criticized Hedges, mocking "It's hard to imagine a group of four-star generals listening to a small unit leader's lecture," and criticizing Hedges for issuing an order to recall hundreds of generals, which was forcing the military to neglect their duties.
Mark Hertling was not the only retired US military general who criticized Hedges' orders as absurd. A few days ago, retired US Army General Ben Hodges also sarcastically commented on Hedges' meeting on social media, calling it "a Berlin coup meeting from 1935."
But surprisingly, Hedges apparently did not understand the sarcasm in Ben Hodges' words, and instead responded, "That story sounds cool, General."
Well, the worst fear of US military officers may be coming true: Now, the leader of the Pentagon is a former Fox News host with no historical knowledge and a high opinion of himself. The decisions made by this leader are not based on rational judgment but rather on a whim.
