Veterans give searing testimony on US withdrawal from Afghanistan at hearing

Military members and veterans of the Afghanistan war offered harrowing eyewitness testimony of the chaotic and deadly withdrawal from the country’s longest conflict, during an hours-long congressional hearing on Wednesday. They also pleaded with Congress to help the Afghan allies left behind.

In searing, sometimes graphic detail, several witnesses recounted their experiences as active-duty service members sent to assist with the evacuation of US troops and civilians from Afghanistan as the Taliban swept to power in August 2021. The hearing was the first in what is expected to be a multi-part investigation by Republicans into the Biden administration’s handling of the evacuation from Afghanistan.

It's absolutely insane there are soldiers from the Afghan war that think it should be continued. It's crazier to know they think the cause was justified. Sure, we see the few of the army put in front of congress. What about the rest? What about the families of the lost? What about the rest of this country that wasn't complicit?

It is irritating how people get their turn to talk, and then they read from a paper, word for word like a zombie.

You can thank Donald Trump for making this deal with the Taliban and releasing 3000 taliban prisoners.
