Retired Navy SEAL Jacko Willink’s video on Afghanistan has gone viral in the message Americans need to hear now.
He said if he was President Joe Biden, this is the speech he believes should be given to Americans. It said in part, “I made some critical errors. Namely, I underestimated the strength of the Taliban. And I overestimated the strength and capacity of the friendly Afghan forces. This was my fault.”
Willink added, “Due to my mistake, the Taliban has taken control of Afghanistan. there are reports now that ISIS and al Qaeda are working alongside them. Unfortunately, there are tens of thousands of Americans on the ground there, as well as friends and allies of America on the ground.
“And these people, Americans and our allies, are all stranded and that is my fault. But they will not be stranded for long. In the next 48 hours, America will be in control of most major airports in Afghanistan. Any resistance we meet from the Taliban or otherwise when we seize these airports will be destroy completely and without mercy.”
And that’s just the warm up. You have to watch it, even a second time if you’ve already seen it, to imagine how it would look if American had a president who really stood up and said these words. Willink 2024, anyone?
