Gen Donahue was literally the last American troop to leave Afghanistan...that's hardly what I'd call a desk job.

You don't get to have a "We Were Soldiers" moment when you have to step over thirteen unnecessarily-slain service people to get on the chopper.

Gen Donahue wasn't involved in the decision to speed up the clock, hand over Bagram to the Taliban and use Karzai Intl. Airport for the evacuation. That's on the Biden Administration.

He was given the shit assignment of overseeing security at Karzai Intl. and contrary to what some folks believe two separate investigations concluded the Abby Gate suicide bomber was NOT spotted before the attack.

Marine snipers did not spot Abbey Gate bomber before attack, officials say

Donahue did his job as directed and the blame for those Marine deaths should be placed squarely on the Biden Administration for favoring the optics of a rapid draw down to the security and safety of everyone involved.
