Trump had nothing to do with this......im tired of all the lies
The libs won't give up power
These people are so thirsty ... they look so pitiful and failures cause they can not stop thinking of him or talking about him,, I think it's funny they fear him,,the swamp is scared of him,,they been investigating him 9yrs now still... he is stomping on these cases like candy in his pocket n I love it... at first I didn't like him but as I got to realize he was for us he could I not,,, there is no way he loses this election no way
@debbiemills4547 * THANK YOU !!! SOOOOO VERY TIRED OF THE LIES AND ESPECIALLY THE LEFT'S MAINSTREAM MEDIA OPINIONISTS' DISTRACTING, DEFLECTING, CONFUSING & ANGER-CAUSING NEGLIGENCE !!! THESE OPINIONISTS SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AS WELL. So Very Tired !!!
The U S gov is crooked as hell
Trump said he wouldn't abandon Kandahar before assets were saved. These generals and Biden did this, not Trump!
57:27 this guy just can't believe biden didn't do this HE DID. Is who left military personnel behind white cool, left all the military equipment behind Biden?Get your facts straight
I knew they would shift their share of the blame.
Welcome to New World Order. Same corrupt Totalitarian Regime. They are after all of US.
He literally had to be told that meeting with the taliban at camp David right before the anniversary of 9-11 and literally had to be told that nuking a hurricane is not what the military does or bombing Mexico and trying to blame it on someone else after!
Exactly.trump 2024
They abandoned Americans and allies in afghunderstand sneaking out in the middle of the night, abandoning billions of dollars of new equipment. And gave up. A secure airport to leave from an airport surrounded by the enemy. Their entire mission is a failure,Biden even turned over the names of those we left behind 28:27 28:32 28:33 to the taliban. We watched taliban friends people were falling thousands of feet from planes, leaving from the airport.
Period period and this is what they say was a great accomplishment by the Biden administration and by the DEI generals who have turned our military into a circus
I served Afghanistan 04-05. That pull out reversed 20 years of blood sweat and tears almost overnight. Not only is it a slap in the face, it's twisting the knife when these weasals try to blame shift it to Mr Trump
You should go do some researchs on who signed the agreement to pull out the US forces from Afghanistan. It takes simple clicks.
The Agreement to pull out the US forces from Afghanistan was signed by the Trump administration and the Talibans in Quatar. This is a fact. Now, you can criticize the way it was done, but the Agreement was already signed.
@@kiswindsidaguigma9261thr means of withdrawal caused the issue. Our men and women don't need to be in a war zone our leaders and out country weren't willing to win. ThAt must be one of the lessons we take from america’s modern history. If we aren't prepared to do the ugly things it takes to win then it's not important enough to go in the first place. Trump understood that. Reagan understood that. Bush Clinton Obama and biden do not.
Thank you for your service and all that fought beside you. Big hugs
@@kiswindsidaguigma9261 Yeah, Trump signed the Agreement but the Withdraw Order came Late.. No Planned Exit was given the Time and Security that was needed, and Again a Democratic State Run State Department FUBAR the whole Withdraw Up.. Like the Generals Are going to Testify about, it was a Saigon, Monument.. Shameful Exit, On Biden's Watch with American Blood on many people's Hands. Peace..
The buck stops with Biden
And general milley and Austin.
so does American hegemony
Wake up. Obama is the basement with the iPhone calling all the shots.
The White House is filled with Obama loyalists. Biden is just a clueless puppet.
checking his ⌚ 💩
Can't blame Trump for what Biden and the Democrats did
Who is blaming Trump?!?
😂😂😂
These lying weasels, that's who.
CAN I GIVE 100 THUMBS UP FOR THIS?
One guy did 🙄
@@paulaurquidi2279 yeah, that was Biden then the media backed Biden on this.
Democrats’ obsession with President Trump is disturbing. No matter what the subject of the hearing is, they can’t speak without bringing up Trump. If they weren’t so childish and ignorant, they’d be embarrassed about it.
👍🏽👍🏽
They have zero morals or humility.
I agree- no matter the subject the democrats have one tune “Trump Trump Trump” it’s a sickness with them. I don’t understand how they keep getting re-elected. It’s mind boggling that they think we are that stupid. There is never any accountability for Biden and his actions. He never reached out to the families. It’s disgusting
It shouldn’t have happened in the first place. Tired of these ice cream eating followers passing over the seriousness of the situations.
Yes President Trump promised the people , however unfortunately the democrats stole the 2020 election and messed up everything.
We know who's responsible he's eating ice cream in wh
He’s not in the White House he’s six feet under!
I believe you are right Maggie Pennington.
I find it very sad that other people have to apologize to the families of those American Patriots who died in Afghanistan when Joe flubbed the withdrawal.
I hope the History books don't spare Joe's utter incompetence and greed.
It was not flubbed it was on PURPOSE!
Then for them to be forced to listen to Democrats only care about shifting blame to Trump
And oh bam a
I think you are right. Part of weakening this country in the face of those parties hostile to the continued existence of us and our allies.
I agree wholeheartedly agree with you
Trump would never leave anyone behind,so please try to keep the proper character.biden is a real piece of work
what do you mean? he literally leaves behind broken companies and livelihoods on the regular. what research have you done?
More blood on the monsters hands, Bi dyn needs to be held accountable for all these crimes. Its outrageous what they are doing to Trump, when the real criminal gets away with many murders.
Back2Basuc remember Rico statutes investigations to include conspiracy obstruction extortion bribery money laundering trafficking tax evasion perjury AND manslaughter presented to Grand juries to document crimes committed against US and Force bureaucrat to PROSECUTE!! Arms for donations began in 2009!! YET WHY is it democRATS know to use Grand juries against Trump But Rinos refuse to legislate Grand juries to hear evidence in Rico statutes investigations into Obama Biden Clinton extortion as foreign policy that began in 2009?? Does Putin possess documented evidence of what was promised for what Putin paid for in the uranium one deal documents Obama himself classified top secret?? Can Putin and WikiLeaks assange answer WHY Obama administration refused to sell defensive weapons to Ukraine after Crimea annexation?? With Rino's repeated failures to follow through with documentation How many Congressional referrals documented sent to DOJ for investigations into lying to Congress?? How many States objections actually made it into Congressional records January 6th?? We The People UNITED is the Constitution prescribed Way to stop political parties immunity corrupting US and justice so only vote FOR Mega Maga Patriots so fewest RNC and DNC traitors return to office in 2025!! End ALWAYS DONE THIS WAY with clean slate Of representatives and remove all immunity from prosecutions!!
First thing out of the Democrat's mouth..."but Trump, but Trump." He's been out of power for almost 4 years.
Take some goddamed responsibility for once! Pathetic!
Blame Trump for Democrats failure isn’t that the way they always play it
Always!
Don’t blame Trump. Who was the Commander in Chief? We’re is the Taliban now???? 😡😡😡
1000 Americans left behind, Afghanistan.
Americans are currently being held as hostages in Gaza, no attempts nor plans to get them out.
Instead, our government is criticizing the only government that is attempting to locate the hostages and hold their captors responsible.
Americans in Haiti are stranded and told by their government there is no help on the way.
Its all so shameful that as a US Army veteran, I want to say that I am ashamed and sick in my heart of the actions of this government administration .
😢
So how did you feel hearing about Trump trying to meet with the taliban at Camp David right before the anniversary of 911. He made the deal and shares in the blame!
Thank you for your service and God bless you. I’m a 39 year veteran myself and I’m disgusted with this administration.
@BB I'm an army vet also and I served in Saudi arabia during desert storm. This withdrawal sickens me and I'm ashamed as an American that we did this to our people in Afghanistan and do the people that helped us. We did them really dirty. Thank you for your service. 👍
Very, very emotional when the names of the fallen solders were read. *Shame on Biden/Obama!*
Over 65 here , vet , bull crap on the last days in Afghanistan blaming withdraw on prior admins , what a joke!
1. That former military nurse at the end was absolutely right. EVERY member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff had a moral obligation to resign before allowing this to proceed under them.
2. There ABSOLUTELY should not be a Classified portion of this. It should ALL be Public!
Amen!
We deserve transparency from our government.
@@mariajordan8100 *** Yes, we do and we should ALL go to the FACTUAL SOURCES for our information. It's out there and available to Americans who will take the time to search out the actual truth !!! So many millions will never take the time and will continue to depend on factless media deflecting & confusing hatred & commit crimes against our nation, out of hatred and confusion ..... regardless of actual facts and truths. May God forgive us for allowing this to happen in our government and nation.
Why make it public, even when they show video and audio of situations, some people deny what the rest of us seen and heard and fabricate a whole other story. You people have let your politics destroy this country, the rest of us are just waiting for the little that’s left of it to be burned to ashes.
AND UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP AMERICA WAS A MUCH SAFER NATION, CRIME WAS WAY DOWN AND SAFETY AND LIFE TOGETHER ARE OUR FIRST AND SECOND UNALIENABLE RIGHTS.!!
If Gen Miley would have been doin' his job instead of worrying and whining about wanting to study and understand the fake "white rage".....
White rage is the silliest thing I have ever heard
MILLEY BELONGS IN PRISON
You know, if I was voted president ,I would have made my own decisions. Looks like Biden made his own decisions and messed up big time.
Glad these guys are FORMER generals.
AMEN!
I would use generals lossly ,they are paper general, not real generals war harded generals,these are Washington lap dog generals! This hearing is a joke!
They knew when to escape to retirement. They should be wearing orange at Leavenworth.
Give Lt. COL. Stuart Scheller his military retirement pay and benefits. He was at least honest unlike these sellouts.
Lt Col Stuart Scheller USMC was 100% right !
Good offices are always the ones that take the blame.
Go after Biden now, he is responsible
Always Trump! Unbeliebable!!!
Get the charges dropped on the gold star dad....
He was exercising his 1st Amendment right. I think he applied a greater reservation than I could have. His question and reaction was warranted.
Biden had forgotten them
Gold star families should be allowed to question these men.
🙏🏻😪🙏🏻
I want to give my comment, but I cannot all I can say, is it shameful
I hear you
Boo-hoo
Wasn’t it Milley who assured the Chinese he would warn them if any harm was attempted against China?
Thank you, Miley is a traitor!!
Milley the whimp
Who gives out the names of those left behind to the enemy & expecting the Taliban to civilly let them go?
I think their info was on computers left behind
@@RobShuttleworth Biden actually claimed that he gave them the list, because he expected them to cooperate.
@RobShuttleworth I recall hearing the info was given to the Taliban so they could know who was to be allowed to leave, as if this was going to allow them free passage to the airport!
What could possibly go wrong intentionally giving biometric information of intel and allies to the emrmy?? Sneaking out in the dead of night without alerting our allies they were on their own... leaving weapons, ammo, equipment, supplies, even uniforms to the enemy.... what could possibly go wrong?!?! 🤬🤬🤬🤬
This was NOT a withdrawal! It was a surrender!! 👺
That was a hit list. They failed their duty to protect these persons, they identified them to the enemy. 😢
All these hearings yet none get arrested charged and sentenced justly for a crime.
I’m from the uk, it stuns me how incompetent and the web of lies that Bid E ns cronies constantly talk, it makes the US look so weak and vulnerable
😮That was biden 😮
not trump 😊
They can't help themselves to blame trump hey...his plan was better than joes...
B.s. It was Trumps deal and he drew our forces down to 2000+ and gave them a pull out date. Negotiated a cease fire if we pulled out on that date without consulting the government of Afghanistan. We could blame every president since Bush but it's not all Bidens fault!
The truth is the American sniper had the suicide bomber in his sight and he couldn’t get an answer from who was supposed to give the ok. Who ever that was needs to be charged or sent to Afghanistan alone.
Oh for goodness sake DON'T GASLIGHT ME!!!!! WHAT A MAROON😢😢😢😢😢😢
Comments started at 37 when I commented first and now it's down to 23
An ultra maroon.
WHO are you referring to? There are a lot of individuals speaking in this video.
@@marysueeasteregg prolly Millie, or any lying Dem! They all lie!
@paulromagano2818 * maroon???
Wow look how hard this guy is trying to lie and believe it!!!!!
Didn't I read/and hear that they had the bomber in their sites. They repeatedly asked for permission to take him out but they never got the ok. This resulted in the 13 deaths. That's what I read and heard
Correct! Sgt Tyler Andrews Vargas had him in his scope but was never given the go ahead to take him out. Eventhough there was a BOLO the suspect. It is infuriating.
He was abandoned by ice cream eaters generals
The same failure to advise happened in the 01/06
The protest that they reference as an insurrection. Thank God that officers of the Capitol Police took matters into their own hands & continued to withdraw the congress by the decision to exit. He was terminated. The officers that committed the non-responsive action were promoted.
Our government is implementing Totalitarianism.
@@rhondamyers4936 * Proven Truth !!! So very sad & unnecessary.
MILLEY at 31:40:
" ... you're the board of directors for this corporation called the American government. And I believe that you're entitled to those within the bounds of classification...."
THIS WAS HUGE.
Such bs.
They said the quiet part out loud
Broken leaders Lead to broken everything.
we the people don't care what hasbeen traitor milly has to say
He's served our nation for years, unlike the real traitor bone spurs in chief!
AND BIDEN SHOULD HAVE MADE THE AMERICAN MILITARY WITHDRAWAL IN AFGANISTAN A SAFER ONE AND SHOULD MAKE ANY AND OR ALL MILITARY WITHDRAWALS SAFE ONES.
Writing in all caps makes you look uneducated, like not understanding that Trump made the deal with the taliban.
@@rodneybyassee1928 the deal was conditional and the Taliban didn't adhere to it. Biden owns the disastrous withdrawal, as HE, NOT TRUMP was calling the shots. A grade schooler could have done better! You don't pull troops before civilians, and you don't leave behind resources to the enemy, and an important airbase. Joe fkt it up. That's on him and those who knew better and let this happen under their command. They swore and oath to the Constitution and United States, NOT to Joe Biden!
@@rodneybyassee1928blaming Trump makes YOU look uneducated. His deal with the Taliban definitely wouldn't have involved abandoning US citizens and Afghan partners as well as millions of dollars worth of US military equipment.
They need to come up with a TDS vaccine.
Trump did not execute this debauchery.
Trump did not execute this debauchery.
How does a senator not understand the hearing is about the withdrawal of Afghanistan not about the 20 years. Dei at its finest right here 😂
these generals are embarassing. didnt we lose 13 marines when sleepy joe pulled out of Afganistan. What t f was that? also didnt they leave behind 80 billion is military assets to the taliban?
Milly has a lot to answer for...
A Biden, Blinken total failure
Gotta say any respect I had for either of these generals was very little after this happened, that said I gotta say McKenzie lost all my respect for acting like a dick when it came to the families, I had little respect for Millie but at least he had the nuts to look at the families and say something, definitely got a little respect from that. All that said, Biden s administration fucked this up royally. The promotion some people got is pathetic, and just everything about this whole thing is pathetic. I feel for everyone that got screwed over by our government that day and all the ones forgotten by our government that day.
MILLEY at 31:40:
" ... you're the board of directors for this corporation called the American government. And I believe that you're entitled to those within the bounds of classification...."
THIS WAS HUGE.
Research the act of 1871.
I guess how we got there in the first place is long forgotten. How quickly we forget.
IMO, that evidence was buried in the Nine Eleven attack and the 3,000+ lives lost.
All these people are to blame washington dc is a cess pool.
They need to be fired Millie all of them
Prosecute Milley
Americans are so naive about their military.
How so?
What about the folks we left behind? What about them?
Waste of time
We don't believe the LIES, TRUTH will come to light!
❤️🙌☀️
The problem is that the sniper took it to his command and ask permission to take out the target and was told NO SHOT AUTHORIZED.
Haitian Handouts Didn't Work Because They Forgot How To Make A Living?!?
God bless all the generals that are speaking up
Bless them? For their corruptive LIES. Do you not know the Ten Commandments?? *I'm Elaine *
No audio...YT censors are hard work
Prob Chrome, they did that to my rumble after update
How about the service dogs abandoned at the airport in cages.
the best question asked to the generals. did you think trumps plan would work when he made it with the Taliban?
But obiden was the one who made it a disaster!!! Get it? Got it? Good!!! *I'm Elaine *
@@henrymartin8997 if someone leaves you shi7 storm who is to blame? the maker of the mess or the one who tries to clean it up?
Thanks for your service 😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪
I cant listen to this. The consequences and justice will not happen.
Thank you. Guam's president was offering assistance, but the White House never contacted her.
Is the decision making guidance for foreign policy by the executive public information?
How much weight is given to exec political goal? How much weight is given to State Dept vs DOD? How much weight is given to noncombatant risk? How much to economic interests of how many people or companies?
How much public oversight is done over private security contractors & contracts?
Same questions about the classified vs non-classified after-action reports.
If freedom & prosperity depends upon transparency & consent of the governed, peace certainly does.
I’m sorry but these hearings are a waste of time! Nothing ever comes out of them no one’s held accountable for the mistakes that were made! I a tax paying citizen thinks our tax money could be better spent than these joke of a hearing!
While I would usually agree with you at least this hearing gets the facts of the failed withdrawal "on the congressional record". Having the info on the record allows for future punishment.
Another biden 😅 attorney.
Joe Biden should stand trial for this and other things.
Just stop all wars.
How?
Stop funding them with US tax dollars.
Titled this: Corrupt Afghanistan Withdrawal - murders of US, Weapon Giveaway
I am a Vietnam Vet and a USAF career Vet. This withdrawal from Afganistan is an embarrassment to our nation. This nightmare is totally on Biden's head. Just like Nam and Macnamara's admission in his book that he knew in 68 that the US could not win. What did they do? He and useless LBJ created Project 1000. They lowered entry requirements, so the draft could admit young men with intellectual disabilities. Many of those died within days of arrival in Nam. When the military is asked to go we do. We know that we will be asked to go before we enter the service, and we still enlist. At 76 I still believe that I would do it again.
Fire Milley! A snake in the grass is not what we need. We need men with Backbones! Not spineless cowards in charge.
Milley is a traitor.
You know nothing!!!
As usual they blame trump for Thier mistakes. And I'm glad that the public is starting to completely reject this bullshit they keep throwing out .
Congress should have availability of all documents. Period. Congress is oversight. And the pentagon needs a deeper dive/. It isn’t right to use tax payer money for a special bunker for them and not protect the people. They would be more likely to do their job if they don’t have special treatment: they would make darn sure they protect America.
The Pentagon has failed multiple audits, and congress gives them a blank check every year!
2:16:34 Mr Keating can follow Gen Milley’s advice and testimony to look all the way back to the early 2000’s. I’d wonder if there will be hearings for the NSC or Joint Chiefs? How much cooperation between incoming and outgoing administration was actually happening and what are the legislative actions that can be taken to reduce the weight given to political considerations when making foreign policy decisions.
Errors and misalignments are happening at the very top with drastic consequences for the real world.
For over 20 years, far more noncombatants have suffered then ever should have.
Service Members are not at fault for being manipulated in the interest of serving those at the top but there needs to be protections for dissenters, conscientious objectors.
DOD is not required to follow illegal orders but making that determination takes far too long as the system exists.
this was all Biden no Trump
It's the same old story. Blame Trump. They need some new material.
That all is so Horrifying!!!
My Brother was in Afghanistan for 23 years. He was in the Army.
I am not from USA This puts these actions puts a pile of blood on the shoes of Bidens in a big idiocy.
God bless our troops whom have fought for our country and other countries and gave their lives ❤! It’s sad when our gov. won’t help our veterans!
VA Hospital killed my dad, he was WWII veteran, joined up straight out of highschool, he was double amputee, went in for dehydration, they killed him with a ventilator he never needed, vented him to do a test he didn't need, caused pneumonia, he was dead in less than a week. This was several years before covid. Our Government doesn't give a rip about our soldiers, our vets, or our citizens, or our tax dollars.
And our Americans left there. Ice cream eater doesn’t care . He says he will bring them back. His deals are horrible.
No one will ever accept responsibility
Wow, they’re trying to blame it on Trump. Unbelievable.
Does anyone really think they're going to get the right answers from Millie?
Dean Philips 👎
SOOOOo…its trumps fault?? Lmao…..there was no conflicts like that his whole 4 years in office and there trying to say he didnt have a plan?? lmAO. CLOWNS
This is so sad you can tell just by the question and comment and know what potlictscol sid their on.
True,True, Heroes❤
MILLIE BELONGS IN PRISON. NOW AND THEN
It's one thing for us to said here and listen to this. But somebody needs to sit Joe Biden down in a room and make him listen to all of this word-for-word until he understands the damage he caused because no one is telling him.
WELL SAID MADAM CONGRESS WOMAN.!!
where are republicans to call these people out on these flat out lies. Let me guess they were not allowed to be a part of this?
Thank You Miss!
Liberal lies after lies after lies. Waste of air-time
THE CHAIRMAN WAS RUDE AND OUT OF INE TO MILLER MEEKS AND OBVIOUSLY A DEMOCRAT AND DIDNT LIKE THE TRUTH AND THE POIBT SHE MADE ABOUT JANUARY.
