‘Biden lied to America’: GOP senators sensationally call out the President after Gens. Milley and McKenzie say they DID advise him to keep 2,500 troops in Afghanistan – weeks after he said they didn’t

  • Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Mark Milley said on Tuesday his assessment was that withdrawing U.S. troops would likely trigger the collapse of Kabul
  • He and Gen Frank McKenzie both said they believed 2500 troops would have prevented Taliban takeover 
  • Their evidence before the Senate Armed Services Committee triggered scrutiny of Biden’s claims his advisers did not recommend leaving troops
  • Their appearance marked the first time Pentagon leaders have publicly testified since the U.S. completed its withdrawal from Afghanistan 
  • They were joined by Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin
  • They faced sharp questions about the chaotic pullout and whether they anticipated the Taliban’s rapid takeover of the countryÂ
