June 23, at budget request hearing, Austin was asked about saving Bagram but Milley needed to insert himself to say this.
"Bagram is not necessary, tactically or operationally for what we are going to try to do here with Afghanistan".

The plan was:
Help the Taliban overwhelm the Afghan government before we leave by cutter the rug - Bagram’s operations - out from under the Afghan military FIRST, GIVING the Taliban Kaubul and CONTROL over our withdrawal. Perfidy.
It may or may not have been then....but ditching it dumps a lot of options.
Austin is a Retard....
They’ve done everything in reverse here.
Left a major airbase up for grabs when it should have been secured (since they knew they were going to extract, this should have been job one)
Denied the Afghan troops support while planning and implementing a graduated withdrawal.
Pulled out troops before extracting civilians.
Stuck a bunch of troops in the middle of an already surrounded airport without first securing a perimeter.
Who’s in charge of this thing, my mother in law?
Daily mail has up that pelosi is now refusing to take questions
He was telling the truth here, they wanted to lose Afghanistan therefore occupying Bagram would have been counter to that plan and it worked like a charm
Sad that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff does not have the honor or decency to resign.
Admiral Boorda would know what to do.
No matter how many fancy hi-tech weapons we have, if we have pussies like this “leading” our military they are useless.
I suppose it was his idea to work with Taliban that just stole billions of dollars of military hardware. He should be fired by now.
“Bagram is not necessary, tactically or operationally for what we are going to try to do here with Afghanistan”
Well, if they were going to try to get Americans killed, he is right.
Translation. You are getting left behind if not out of there in 36 hours. We will try to figure out how to get you but don’t hold your breath.
I did some quick Calculating....
Thoroughly Moronic Milley
He should have already resigned. More than likely, the a-hole will retire. I hope he has a very short retirement.
Somebody needs to send this quote to Devin Nike’s. He doesn’t think anyone in the military said that about Bagram.
Dirty rotten ba***** needs to be booted NOW!
