I can't imagine the Chairman recommending abandoning Bagram Base to the CINC. But then again this Chairman seems to think he makes decisions about troop deployments/emploment.
At a minimum, Milley should resign. In this former military soldier's opinion this is dereliction of duty. The only safe exclave in Afghanistan that could be defended and used to move civilians and military out of country was abandoned? This is an astounding lack of military planning and judgement.
I know Milley isn't in the Chain of Command (advisor to the CINC only) but the Combatant Commander who ordered this withdrawal should face courts martial. If the CINC (Read: POTUS for you non military folks) ordered this move he should be impeached without delay.
“I know Milley isn’t in the Chain of Command (advisor to the CINC only) “
It’s a lead pipe cinch he knew about it and agreed and did not advise Biden otherwise.
