Gen. Mark Milley Admits Joe Biden’s Afghanistan Evacuation a ‘Strategic Failure’

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley conceded Tuesday that President Joe Biden’s exit from Afghanistan was a “strategic failure.”

“I think one of the other senators said it very well, it was a logistical success but a strategic failure, and I think those are two different terms,” Milley said when asked by Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK) about his assessment of the operations.

Milley noted he was referring to the “non-combatant evacuation” of Americans and Afghan allies from Kabul after it fell into the hands of the Taliban.

Later in the hearing, Milley again described the “strategic failure” in Afghanistan during questioning from Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV).
