During portions of an interview with NBC released on Wednesday, former CENTCOM Commander Gen. Frank McKenzie (Ret.), who helped oversee the evacuation of Afghanistan, stated that he wishes the United States had begun to evacuate people earlier, and he believes that the events in August of 2021 were set in motion “when we decided to leave completely in April of that year. And once you make that basic decision, then events took on a certain trajectory.” And that this decision was “not a military decision. That’s a political decision.”

McKenzie said, “I wish we had begun to bring people out earlier. You always go back and you examine that. I wish we had seen that coming. I wish we had done that different[ly]. There [are] all kinds of things that I would do differently. But I would tell you, I believe that what happened in August of last year occurred when we decided to leave completely in April of that year. And once you make that basic decision, then events took on a certain trajectory.”
 
He also blames Trump for the mess and believes we should have maintained a troop presence indefinitely.

If the withdrawal had been done EXACTLY the same with the EXACT same results under your orange jesus, you would have been touting the withdrawal as a spectacular success and boasting how we got out of that mess with only 13 US military deaths.

shut up dude, those 13 deaths shouldn't be used like that. Those death were shocking and it was a horrible time. We had a lot of sleepless nights in this area during that period. You lack of respect doesn't hold water and is disgusting(but it doesn't surprise me). That withdraw was a mess, a pure mess and no excuse for it.
