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.

“If our intent is to withdraw all of our forces from Afghanistan then how do we not abandon Bagram as part of that process?”
We have had 1,000s of civilians, from DOD and contractors with DOD, to state dept, to contractors with state dept, to NATO and Afghan nationals employed with or working us and expected to “withdraw” with us also, and if your planning was correct then the troops would be withdrawn LAST so that they could protect all your other withdrawal plans. Bagram should have been the last mission we closed, not the first.
“And the house and senate are on vacation.”
Another reason for Biden’s “withdrawal” timing???
CCP Joe is just following orders. Using Bagram airfield would've been far more secure BUT CHINA WANTS US OUT for strategic purposes.
More Marines arrive in Kabul to aid urgent embassy airlift
August 14, 2021
“The Biden administration warned Taliban officials directly that the U.S. would respond if the Taliban attacked Americans during the stepped-up deployments and evacuations.”
WASHINGTON (AP) — A fresh contingent of Marines arrived in Kabul on Saturday as part of a 3,000-troop force intended to secure an airlift of U.S. Embassy personnel and Afghan allies as Taliban insurgents approach the outskirts of the capital.
The last-minute decision to re-insert thousands of U.S. troops into Afghanistan reflects the dire state of security and calls into question whether President Joe Biden will meet his Aug. 31 deadline for fully withdrawing combat forces.
After an advance group of Marines arrived on Friday, more flowed into the Kabul international airport on Saturday, said Navy Capt. William Urban, a spokesman for U.S. Central Command. Citing operational security, Urban declined to provide specific numbers. The Pentagon said on Friday that the bulk of the 3,000 — comprising two battalions of Marines and one of Army soldiers — are due by the end of the weekend.
Officials have stressed that the newly arriving troops’ mission is limited to assisting the airlift of embassy personnel and Afghan allies, and they expect to complete it by month’s end. But they might have to stay longer if the embassy is threatened by a Taliban takeover of Kabul by then..

Benedict Biden: THAT’S HIS NAME! Destroying America: THAT’S HIS GAME!!
Well that is brilliant! Put more sitting ducks in a kill zone.
Don’t we have any generals who are worth a crap anymore?
Great historical example. When Hooker left the high ground, did he take his hookers with him?
How did 7th century savages defeat the USA without vaccines, masks, and 6 ft saves lives?
There appear to be American terrorists in the White House, Pres. Joe Biden, and VP Kamala Harris. We will never forget and never forgive.
SOS Blinken, DNI Avril Haines, Defense Secy. Austin, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Milley, and others selected by Joe or whoever is running the White House were confirmed by the Senate. Susan Rice and the Obama brain trust are all involved in shaping and carrying out Policy. Their policy trashes America and is in my opinion a hate America policy.
Joe Biden deliberate decision to leave Afghanistan in his planned evil way with the assistance of the press and the entire leadership of the Democrat Party is hateful. In the dead of night our military bases chock full of planes, weapons, ammo,etc. paid for by American taxpayers was abandoned.
Joe and his hate America cabal succeeded in bring America to its knees.
Somebody commented Joe Biden is the first American President to arm a terrorist organization with American taxpayer funded weapons.
