Scott Mann joins 'Fox & Friends First' to discuss the upcoming House hearing on the disastrous 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal.Can we trust Congress to set politics aside and do the right thing?I will testify on Wednesday as one of the initial witnesses for the long-awaited House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing that will re-visit the
by discussing the Afghanistan collapse and the impact it's had on our nation, the Afghan people, and our veterans. IN AFGHANISTAN ONE YEAR AGO, OPERATION PINEAPPLE EXPRESS SHOWED THE BEST OF AMERICAFor as long as we've been a nation, our veterans have been a moral compass for doing the right thing, especially in hard times. When, thousands of veterans across the country watched the Taliban take back Afghanistan.
Most of these men and women veterans had paid their dues and moved on with their lives. Jumping back into the quagmire of Afghanistan was certainly not part of their military retirement plans. Yet they did just that, and in a big way. Because they weren’t willing to break a promise that every warrior lives by:"I have your back."This hearing on Wednesday will be the first time that the voices of these volunteer veterans will be heard in this kind of public forum.
It’s possible that the whole thing might quickly spiral into the polarized political grandstanding most of us have come to expect.
