On Tuesday, two retired military generals testified concerning the US withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021 to a Republican-led committee of Overseas Affairs.
Basic Mark Milley, the previous chairman of Joint Chiefs of Workers, referred to as the US evacuation from Afghanistan a “strategic failure,” however defended US army actions beneath what have been extraordinarily “harmful” circumstances.
The Afghanistan withdrawal in 2021 was the biggest Non-combatant evacuation operation (NEO) in US historical past. US troops pulled out after 20 years in Afghanistan, and the ultimate few weeks have been lethal and chaotic because the Taliban swept to energy.
