The U.S. military’s top uniformed official refuted media reports that the Pentagon lied about progress regarding the war in Afghanistan.
“I know there’s an assertion out there of some sort of a coordinated lie over the course of, say, 18 years. I find that a bit of a stretch; more than a bit of a stretch, I find that a mischaracterization, from my own personal experience,” Army Gen. Mark Milley, the Joint Chiefs of Staff’s chairman, told reporters at the Pentagon on Friday, The Hill reported.
