The Woke Marine General is on TV now ,trying to Defend his CIC Biden.
“Bill Roggio, a former soldier and senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, demanded the resignation of the Centcom Commander U.S. Marine Corps Gen. Frank McKenzie, who heads the Afghan mission.”
Closing Bagram airbase was a 'recipe for disaster': Army veteran turned terrorism analyst calls for CENTCOM commander to be fired for 'dumpster fire' plan to choose Kabul airport to evacuate thousands of people
* Security experts said Bagram air base would have provided a secure hub * But it was closed in early July when U.S. forces slipped out at night * Americans must instead try to reach Kabul's airport which is ringed by Taliban * The result has been chaotic scenes at Hamid Karzai International Airport * And growing questions about the Biden's administration's emergency plan * Bill Roggio said 'you do not put your primary evacuation airstrip at an airport inside a city with 4.5 million people' * Rep. Mike Waltz said Bagram had more space for keeping people safe * But Gen. Mark Milley said his orders were to secure the embassy and he did not have enough troops to hold Bagram
Abandoning Bagram air base before withdrawing American civilians and Afghan allies was a major tactical mistake, according to senior national security experts, leaving U.S. forces reliant on a civilian airport, with a single runway in the heart of a city controlled by the Taliban. They said days of chaos could have been avoided if the U.S. evacuation plan included Bagram, 25 miles to the north.
nstead, the world was horrified to watch Afghans dropping from the sky off departing planes while Americans were being told to hunker down at home, and Taliban fighters encircled Hamid Karzai International Airport.

We told them to shut up. That’s what the spin roo, er situation room has become.
I would be surprised if Putin didn’t take to the mic to share his condolences and call our fallen heroes.
Biden plays hide and seek. Harris is distracting in Vietnam.
Pelosi is pushing the country till bankrupt. Spending money we don’t have.
Milley should be hanged on the spot.
Absolute lie. Millet testified that Bagram was of no value to the US. It's on the official record. Travis McGee has consistently posted the meme with that quote.
A whole lot of Generals and Deep Staters need to be rooted out and summarily disciplined - severely.
It's criminal because a soldier right out of basic knows the value of such an airbase. Worse, a goat herder still living in the 7th Century knows the value of it.
WOW!, I never heard this, I didn’t know our Military Normally scurried off under the cover of darkness, what gives? Who is being Court Martialed? Fired? Impeached? Lined up and...
‘General Thoroughly Modern Milley should have been arrested August 15th and shot that night.’
No that should have happened on either Nov 3 or Jan 6 when he could have been arrested for act of treason one or both times!
No need to.
:(!
If our intent is to withdraw all of our forces from Afghanistan then how do we not abandon Bagram as part of that process?
And the house and senate are on vacation.
they probably have bill barr on the job right now-
No, they all should be flown to Afghanistan and air-dropped at several of the gates surrounding the Kabul airport.
What’s sickening is that almost all of us knew abandoning Bagram was a mistake when it happened, the supposed experts didn’t have a clue and actually thought they had months to go for civilians to get out safely. How is that possible?
Closing Bagram fist instead of last INSURED all other aspects of the withdrawal would have Taliban interference.
Engineered by Stonewall Jackson who, unfortunately, was shot by his own men.

Shut down DC. The country and troopers would be safer.
Lets give them Biden, Harris and Obama as a hostages. We don’t need them back
“In fact, looking at the size and location of Bagram, by giving that up, the isolation and fall of Kabul was effectively guaranteed.”
A good conspiracy theorist would say that spineless Biden decided the only way he could get a “bloodless” withdrawal was if the Taliban was in control instead of fighting the Afghans for control, and so closing Bagram was INTENDED to have the U.S., by its actions, not the Taliban, bring down the Afghan government.
