What he mean to say was "Yeah, so there are these nuts in the USA that are all Pro-Pally Bros and they are super annoying with their social mead BS and running around filming government officials, trying to get them to scream about a genocide, so like, if you could get this done fast, that would be great"

Nobody ever mentions the most idiotic parts of the Trump negotiations: the US agreed not to bomb the taliban if they were more than 500m away from an ANA position. That's less than 1/3 of a mile, you can still engage with small arms fire, motors, artillery, or almost anything at that range. That meant that our airstrikes supporting the ANA almost disappeared overnight and they effectively could no longer be offensive.

I had the hearing on for a few hours yesterday. Pretty much a rerun of the Senate Arms Services hearing in Sept 2021, had that on at the time too. Milley and McKenzie spent most of the day telling how the White House and the State Dept time after time ignored their advice. Heck, Joe Biden couldn't remember his briefings (a well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory). Milley and McKenzie testified otherwise.

 

Instead of honoring Trump's May 1st withdrawal date, Biden sent tthe military contractors home, abandoned Bagram Air Base, drew down the forces, and stayed months longer than agreed. 

 

The Republicans asked several times why Milley didn't do more. He goes straight up military, it's his job to advise the president, not to make or influence the president's decisions in public. He's had a change of mind on that stance, he suggested negotiations between Ukraine and Russia back in Nov 2022.

Didn't watch any of it but hasn't Milley and the brass's stance always been that the US should have left a  small contingent pf troop there permanently?
