Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin was silent for several seconds before telling Fox News anchor Bret Baier on Saturday what his regrets are about the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.
"Do you have any regrets about the Afghan withdrawal?" Baier asked Austin during a keynote discussion at the Reagan National Defense Forum in Simi Valley, California.
After a silence that lingered for nearly 10 seconds, Austin replied, "Bret, I regret the fact that we lost 13 of our finest at Abbey Gate. I regret that we lost 10 civilians in an errant strike.

Well, his problem is that the term “withdrawal” would be a lie and he’s not sure if he wants to lie about the “retreat” and “surrender” he and the Biden/Harris regime carried out.

He kept making all those Biden quotes.
“As Pres Biden has said .. . . .”
None that I have heard.

I also regret being called the guy who runs the Pentagon instead of Secretary Austin by my braindead boss.

This Guy is a total, useless waste. Hello Russians, Chinese, Iranians, North Koreans. Biden has destroyed the USA military might. Attention, Enemies, of the USA, Biden, Harris, Polesi & Schumer have opened the doors to the USA and they will welcome you with their open, Traitor, Turncoat arms. Sad days for the USA!!!

He regrets the losses at ah bee gate. I thought it was a proper moment of reflection, and a great response. Those should not be forgotten.

Lloyd Austin is not one of our best and brightest. In the Biden Admin, who is?

Marion Barry was fat. I doubt this guy does crack with fbi hooker informants though.

I think we need to establish a GoFundMe for this waste of oxygen and his counterpart Milley, to let them go outfit themselves in pink tutus, garish eye shadow, and frilly clothing. That's what they want to turn our military into, so they should model their new "standards" for the personnel. Show them what kind of "military" they envision for the United States. Instead of defeating our enemies in battle, I guess their strategy is to make them laugh themselves to death. These 2 are a total disgrace to the country and its military and should be thrown out on their ears.

He regrets not having been able to leave them nukes and a few B-2 bombers to deliver them.

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin was the most ineffective and destructive Secretary Of Defence in the history of that Department.
