Neon Nettle - Trump Torches Milley for Leaving Military Equipment in Afghanistan: Are You Stupid? - That was one of the many times I realized he was stupid
Did not include baghram? i wonder how the evacuation plan was updated, mr. secretary, as things began to change on the ground, what was the process? through the course of the spring and summer, the element no one anticipated as we discussed on numerous occasions was rapid collapse of the afghan government in course of 11 days. having said that, we had plans in place to do the two critical things we did. we were able to evacuate the embarrass, personnel, destroy sensitive materials, get people to the airport in 48 hours. in many cases, much less than that. second, as i mention issue the president ordered standby force
Here is there was a better way to leave. if the decision was made to pull out, it should not have been a precipitous chaotic and, unfortunately, deadly departure. this afternoon i will be speaking on the floor about max scobiak. he was one of 13 american soldiers, sailors and marines killed on the wall trying to help others escape from the tyranny of the taliban. he should never have been put in that position. it was an impossible position for our troops, for your diplomats, and the impossibility that they faced was due to our policy decisions. there was an alternative. baghram air base, which we shut down in the middle of the night. it was a surprise. i talk to more people who know about the military side of this

Like to cover for a few minutes. noncombatant evacuation order would be a plan on how we evacuate american civilians from a foreign country should a dangerous situation arise. that is correct. prior to turning over baghram air base. critical element for any evacuation is airport in kabul. 40 miles from kabul the population is mostly in kabul, airport would be the airport in kabul. civilian airport in neighborhood more difficult to protect than airport with two runways and ability to land and lift off significant air lift capacity. i am frankly quite shocked our nato plan would have had no inclusion of the air base, it
