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.

Looks like it!
....... HEY ..... Why didn’t they just use the easy to follow ..... TRUMP PLAN ..... A tried and true approach .... Instead of the ...... “Let’s Destroy America Plan” ..... that this Communist Socialist Administration followed?????
I’m sure he must know they are still fighting over there. A section from sn article from Kuwait
“ “The Taleban have a significant advantage,” said Nishank Motwani, an Afghan analyst based in Australia, saying the Islamists were emboldened by their recent victories. “They are very well armed, and they have the psychological factor in their favor in that they precipitated the fall of the government so quickly.” The Taleban seized an enormous arsenal of weapons and military kit that the now departed US provided to the defeated Afghan army, as well as the support of prisoners they freed from jails. “The Taleban also have shock troops, including the use of suicide tactics,” Motwani added.”

“Trust the plan.”
Jennifer Griffin is a traitor of the lowest sort. Truly vile creature.
So then it was Milley’s plan to bring 100,000 unvetted Afghans out of Afghanistan. The dumb bastard just keeps digging his hole deeper and deeper.
If this debacle is what happens when they plan it, I wonder what it would look like, if they DID NOT plan anything?
Yep.
Milley is garbage and an embarassment
“And what you saw unfold with this noncombatant evacuation operation was one of the contingency plans. “
Well it SUCKED!
Milley is trash. Most Gen’s now have no valor awards,no heroism, or gallantry in action awards much less a purple heart award. They are TRASH.
“Uh, I meant to do that” is not a plan.
Planning for it means you knew it could happen and did jack sh^t to stop it. Brilliant.
So they planned to let a suicide bomber in? Good thinking!
It was an example of how poor planning cost lives.
Milley, along with CENTCOM’s McKenzie, and no doubt more generals, need to be indicted, tried, convicted, and sentenced to be hanged for treason, along with scores of traitors in the ChiComjoe kakistocracy.
I can't imagine the RAGE of the family members of the 13 dead who might read this NUTJOB'S sick take.
Didn't result in ISIS?
Milley is the poster child for what Trump refers to as a “television general.”
With the statements Milley has been making, he should be embarrassed to open his mouth. What a pathetic individual.
