Wasn’t this handed off to McKenzie in June ? Need to
Research this
This was by design. Change my mind.
” Centcom Commander U.S. Marine Corps Gen. Frank McKenzie”
Fox News shows his name as being Gen Kenneth McKenzie Jr.
Fear Not folks- the state department just announced they are ‘going to investigate’ what happened- and ‘look for who did the bombing’- and after several months investigations, we will get a report that it was the taliban that did it-
What happens if they take Americans as hostages and make demands of Biden?
U.S. Troops snuck out in the middle of the night, and the Afghan Army commander at Bagram didn't know the Americans left until the generators died and there was no electricity.
BAGRAM, Afghanistan (AP) — The U.S. left Afghanistan’s Bagram Airfield after nearly 20 years by shutting off the electricity and slipping away in the night without notifying the base’s new Afghan commander, who discovered the Americans’ departure more than two hours after they left, Afghan military officials said.
Ask Joseph Hooker about pulling back from “the high ground”. At Chancellorsville in May 1863 he did just that, retiring his larger army from commanding ground between Chancellorsville and Salem Church to a more compact but less commanding position around the Chancellor House. Fortyeight hours later his army was on its heels retreating back across the Rhappahanock River having been outflanked and outgunned by a smaller Confederate Army.
Kabul is Chancellorsville on steroids and this time we are outnumbered at least 10 to 1.
I’ve never been to Afghanistan, but looking at Google earth, this armchair general surmises that the whole Kabul Valley would be relatively easy to control, by holding Bagram in the North and Kabul Airport in the South.
In fact, looking at the size and location of Bagram, by giving that up, the isolation and fall of Kabul was effectively guaranteed.
“...and he did not have enough troops to hold Bagram...”
Well you should have gotten them or thrown your stars on Austin’s desk!
General Thoroughly Modern Milley should have been arrested August 15th and shot that night.
Where’s the voice of the UN and the NATO countries. This was a NATO mission. I’m sure our allies are as pi**** as we are.
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.
If our intent is to withdraw all of our forces from Afghanistan then how do we not abandon Bagram as part of that process?
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.
Shut down DC. The country and troopers would be safer.
Don’t we have any generals who are worth a crap anymore?
How did 7th century savages defeat the USA without vaccines, masks, and 6 ft saves lives?
