As we know, President Bumbles Dementia lived up to his reputation of being dead wrong about everything when he announced he was running away from Afghanistan and surrendering to the Taliban. Many people in congress asked why the military didn\u2019t try to tell Dementia Joe that he was on the wrong track. Now it seems Milley and the Secretary of Defense have decided to throw President Bumbles Dementia under the bus and see how he likes it. Here are the details from Fox News<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n Top military<\/a> officials on Tuesday testified that they assessed that the U.S. should maintain a presence of at least 2,500 troops in Afghanistan<\/a>, with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin admitting that their input was “received” by President Biden<\/a>, despite Biden’s claims to the contrary. <\/b><\/p>\n Oh I think this is going to be popcorn worthy.<\/p>\n Austin, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff<\/a> Gen. Mark Milley, and head of U.S. Central Command Gen. Kenneth McKenzie appeared before the Senate Armed Services Committee Tuesday for a public hearing on the Biden administration’s chaotic military withdrawal from Afghanistan.\u00a0<\/b>McKenzie and Milley both testified that they recommended maintaining a presence of U.S. troops in Afghanistan.\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n “I won’t share my personal recommendation to the president, but I will give you my honest opinion and my honest opinion and view shaped my recommendation,” McKenzie testified. “And I recommended that we maintain 2,500 troops in Afghanistan. <\/b><\/p>\n McKenzie said he made a similar recommendation in the fall of 2020 under the Trump administration, which also had intentions to withdraw all U.S. troops from Afghanistan, saying, at the time, he recommended the U.S. maintain at least 4,000 troops. <\/b><\/p>\n “I also have a view that the withdrawal of those forces would lead inevitably to the collapse of the Afghan military forces and eventually the Afghan government,” McKenzie testified.<\/b><\/p>\n And what was President Trump\u2019s response to this? Was he listening? Did he have questions? I suspect he did, and I suspect we will be hearing about this from the Trump Camp in the coming days. (And the Communazi Propaganda Corps will ignore it or twist it as they always do)<\/p>\n Milley was also pressed on the matter, saying that while he would not share his “personal” recommendations made to the president, his assessment was, “back in the fall of 2020, and remained consistent throughout, that we should keep a steady state of 2,500 and it could bounce up to 3,500, maybe, something like that, in order to move toward a negotiated solution.”<\/b><\/p>\n Was this before you called the Communist Chinese Government and betrayed your oath or after?<\/p>\n Austin was asked whether the president received the personal recommendations from his top military advisers like Milley and McKenzie.<\/strong><\/p>\n “Their input was received by the president and considered by the president for sure,” Austin testified.<\/b><\/p>\n Now the question is, did President Dementia actually remember the recommendation or was he thinking about getting an ice cream cone and watching reruns of Murder She Wrote<\/b><\/a>? The White House Press Corps asked Reach Around Psaki about this.<\/p>\n White House press secretary Jen Psaki tweeted during the hearing in response to their testimony: “As @POTUS <\/a>told ABC, ending the war in Afghanistan was in our national interest. He said advice was split, but consensus of top military advisors was 2500 troops staying meant escalation due to deal by the previous admin.”\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
