The U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and the evacuation of Americans, Afghans, and allies out of Kabul following the Taliban takeover last month was a “logistical success but strategic failure,” the Pentagon’s top military officer told Congress on Tuesday.
Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Mark Milley made the remarks during a Senate hearing by members of the Senate Armed Services Committee, where he was questioned on the Afghanistan withdrawal alongside others including Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and U.S. Central Command commander Marine Corps Gen. Frank McKenzie.
