During an interview with Fox News National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin aired on Saturday’s “Fox Report,” Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley said that the speed of the collapse of Afghanistan’s military and government was a surprise, and “what you saw unfold with this noncombatant evacuation operation was one of the contingency plans.” And “There was an extensive amount of planning in this.”
Milley said, [relevant remarks begin around 2:20] “I think a couple of things. One, is the collapse of the Afghan Army happened at a much faster rate and very unexpected, by pretty much everybody, and then with that is the collapse of the Afghan government. So, that was definitely a surprise. But I will say that there was an awful lot of planning done, ROC drills, rehearsals, etc. And what you saw unfold with this noncombatant evacuation operation was one of the contingency plans. And the speed at which it was executed, the flow of the aircraft, we had planes taking off every 30 to 45 minutes or so. We had — we brought in 7,000 — or 6,000 U.S. troops, and then there [were] about a thousand or more or so Afghan troops that secured HKIA. The first day, it was clearly chaotic, no question about it. You saw that on video, etc. But within about 24 hours, that settled down and it became a much more orderly process.

What a failure of a general. I don't call the deaths of 13 servicemen and women part of an orderly process. This guy is a disgrace and should resign along with his Usurper-in-Chief. Well, the usurper was installed so he needs to just be removed.

Leaving 100s of Americans stranded on the ground in Afghanistan was the plan? Unusual plan.

How do you plan for a mostly cooperative Taliban, General? Seriously? What was your contingency for a downed C-17 with about 500 dead Americans?

Well then the General and all the Planning staff need to fired.
There is a proper way to do this. Obama 2011 withdrawal from Iraq is an example. if their “extreme amount of planning” was done to produced this fiasco, they are incompetence on steroids.

If they put any planning in to this they are absolute failures.

Yes, the plan was to give the Muslim Jihad Army as much of American treasure as possible. The #JihadJunta’s dream was made reality by their theft of the American elections..

Resign?
This pathetic excuse of a general should be court-martialed and either sent to Leavenworth or face a firing squad.

Then you should be relieved of your command!

US: See we built all this nice infrastructure for you, gave you all these neat weapons and uniforms. Now go be just like us
China: Yo Mullah Osama El Bumlicker, here is a big fat pile of gold we got selling stuff to the stupid Westerners. Get you tribe to support the Taliban takeover and we will double it. Also we will not give you any crap about your goat screwing fetishes and your 40 child brides
We never learn. The world does not work like our self righteous pompous political/media class thinks it does.
