‘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 country
