US leadership failed to protect service members and allies by denying engagement authority against clear threats during the Afghanistan withdrawal.

“And still the Biden administration would not allow you to save these [ __ ] people. They're literally on their knees facing the wall getting shot in the back of the [ __ ] head one after another and our president is not going to allow you to [ __ ] engage.”

The US military withdrawal from Afghanistan was conducted in a manner that displayed a gross abandonment of Afghan allies and a disregard for established relationships.

“I never imagined I would witness the kind of gross abandonment followed by career preserving silence of senior leaders military and civilian.”
