I love Congressman Brian Mast. He tells it like he sees it, because he’s seen it first hand and has sacrificed much. He has zero Fs to give.

He’s as political as can be!So the premature troop pullout was indeed Biden’s fault. Not that of his military advisors.
Afghanistan withdrawal: Milley, Austin testify in front of Congress on decision: LIVE UPDATES
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley, and U.S. Central Command Commander Gen. Kenneth McKenzie are testifying Tuesday in front of the Senate Armed Services Committee.“Milley says he won’t resign over Biden not taking his advice on Afghanistan
Gen. Mark A. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a Senate panel Tuesday that he will not resign his post out of protest over President Biden refusing his advice to keep 2,500 U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
“Resigning is a really serious thing. It's a political act, if I’m resigning in protest,” Milley said. “My job is to provide advice. My statutory responsibility is to provide legal advice or best military advice to the president. And that's my legal requirement. That's what the law is. The president doesn't have to agree with that advice.
“It would be an incredible act of political defiance for a commissioned officer to just resign because my advice is not taken,” he added. “My dad didn't get a choice to resign at Iwo Jima. And those kids there at Abbey Gate, they don't get the choice to resign. And I'm not going to turn my back on them.”
Milley said earlier in the hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee that he recommended the U.S. keep 2,500 troops in Afghanistan prior to the chaotic military withdrawal last month, appearing to contradict Biden’s statements that he couldn’t “recall” any such recommendation.
Milley is lying his ass off. Who would trust that backstabbing bastard?So the premature troop pullout was indeed Biden’s fault. Not that of his military advisors.

Biden said he could not recall. That means he absolutely did get advised differently and was lying his ass off.
Biden couldn't remember what his handlers told him to do.
Are you watching? The Senators sure are laying into the Milley, Austin and McKenzie.
Never get fired
Sadly nothing will get done about it. And the media will spin everything so much they will tie themselves into knots.
