JUST IN: SecDef Lloyd Austin said he does not have any 'regrets' for how the U.S. military ended its war in Afghanistan in August 2021.
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said he does not have any"regrets" for how the U.S. military ended its war in Afghanistan in August 2021.
The U.S. military conducted a non-combatant emergency operation beginning in mid-August where they ultimately evacuated roughly 120,000 civilians from Hamid Karzai International Airport, though thousands of allies were left behind to live in fear of the Taliban. “Has anyone been held accountable for what happened in Afghanistan?” Austin was asked again, to which the secretary responded, “To my knowledge, no.”
A number of House committees have sought documents from Biden administration departments regarding the withdrawal.
