President Joe Biden’s selection to command the US Army in Europe and Africa was quietly promoted to full general Monday after a delay that might have had something to do with his role in the Biden-Harris administration’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021.
Lieut-Gen. Christopher Donahue was the commander of the 82nd Airborne when US forces left Afghanistan and also left billions of dollars of military hardware to the Taliban. The Senate agreed to his promotion after at least one of its members finally dropped his reservations about it, Politico reported.
Donahue's file was not part of a bundle of files relating to hundreds of military promotions that the Senate approved just before the Thanksgiving break, demonstrating that there was opposition to it from the upper chamber. Some media outlets identified the source of that opposition as Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), who has been a constant and vociferous critic of Biden’s botched retreat from Afghanistan. Mullin is believed to have stalled the Donahue’s promotion.
Now serving as the commandant of the Army’s 18 Airborne Corps, Donahue was the CO of the storied 82 Airborne that was tasked with occupying the Hamid Karzai International Airport and using the airfield to evacuate Americans and Afghans from Kabul – an operation that did not go well and is remembered for swarms of desperate Afghan refugees hanging on to the sides of massive US Air Force aircraft.

Yes they are
Clown world, makes as much sense as anything else this reprobate wicked evil deep state blob cabal have done.
If it brings down Americas strength and sovereignty, it gets fast-tracked.
January 20th cant come soon enough. They are intentionally and systematically laying down minefields. President Trump must hold these treasonous actions and those performing them accountable.
Let’s hope Trump fires him day one.
President Trump will fire this DEI (probably) scumbag and then hopefully, they will find time to court martial him too.
Yes, he was a leader/Hero whom all officers should emulate.
General Tackaberry was the real deal!
Under no circumstances should this Douche be retained by Trump. Fire immediately !
He tried to stop SAS (and personnel from Canada and Denmark etc) rescuing their nationals, and some Americans, for optics.
Amen. Did you know him?
Get out new officers, while integrety still matters to you. Fight for and with your men. High higher are all xitches to each other.
