U.S. Central Command retired Gen. Kenneth 'Frank' McKenzie's told the House Foreign Affairs Committee that the decision to remove military personnel from Afghanistan before civilians was a 'fatal flaw' that led to the chaos that happened in August 2021.
Rep. Warren Davidson says U.S. Central Command retired Gen. Kenneth "Frank" McKenzie's testimony to the House Foreign Affairs Committee that the decision to remove military personnel from Afghanistan before civilians was a "fatal flaw" that led to the chaos that happened in August 2021 was true.
"He called it," Davidson said. "It was a fatal flaw, and it's true. The State Department does have operational control over non-combatant evacuations." "When Joe Biden was commander in chief when lives were on the line, they basically said 'Yeah, it's a bad plan, but we're going to ahead and execute it.'"
Milley testified that "there should be a defined end state" in war, and Davidson told Newsmax that the quote he used had been made about Afghanistan in 2004, but it seems to be U.S. strategy, including with Ukraine.
