Retired generals Mark Milley and Kenneth McKenzie discuss President Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan before the GOP-led House Foreign Affairs Committee.
By Dan Lamothe, Abigail Hauslohner and Leigh Ann Caldwell, The Washington PostChairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff U.S. General Mark Milley addresses the media during a meeting of NATO defense ministers, at NATO headquarters in Brussels, June 15, 2023.
The U.S. departure from Afghanistan, marked by scenes of desperation and violence, continues to be a political challenge for Biden, who has defended his decision-making and blamed Trump for boxing him in by signing a deal with the Taliban that agreed to withdraw troops with few conditions. Milley, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is expected to discuss the timing for shuttering the U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan, a key tipping point in the crisis, said a person familiar with his thinking. A U.S. military investigation released in 2022 exposed profound frustration among numerous defense officials who detailed what they deemed a lack of urgency within the State Department despite clear evidence that security was crumbling.
