Milley and whatever the other guys name was spoke.
I don't care about Raytheon bitches.
Limit follow ups.
Laser focused on the Kabul airport. We are doing everything that we can to evacuate all.
3 Key concerns- safety and security, additional military 4500 flow into Kabul.
No hostile interactions with the Taliban, lines of communication open.
2nd focus - security in the airport. We do not take this for granted. In contact with McKinsey.
3rd - increasing flowout.
15000 since August- increasing every day. Working with State.
Urgently ID and process Afghan applicants. (Keeps stumbling on his words)
Team effort. PR speak PR speak. Us Military stands as one. Each of us will work through it. Let's give people space.
Milley talks then. Non combatant evac 2nd largest. (Milley should have spoken earlier)
14 April withdrawal decision by Biden. We are focused. Troops at risk, post mortems later. Citizens are now priority. Get out as many as possible.
Immediate action according to the rules of engagement. Taliban are facilitating passage???????
Multiple scenarios possible. Another civil war. Timeframe ranged from weeks months to years. Approved by joint Chiefs. (There you go- he should resign)
National Guard Deployed? Securing embassy? 20 companies. 4500 troops, up to 6K. Multiple squadrons of planes. UK special forces working with.
NGO's helping. Saudi Airfield open.
Unexpected challenges, we rely on training. We are also working in Haiti. We support around the world. Challenging times. PR bullshit.
Question: Unable to get into airport- Taliban checkpoints. Weaponry left behind- can it be destroyed. No focused on securing the airport, also need to defend. TALIBAN HAS BEEN CHECKING CREDENTIALS. Milley did not comment on weapons.
Working with Taliban to facilitate safe passage. Milley is dodging. Policy decision.
Pretty through. Extend perimeter, extend deadline or fuck off- GREAT question .
Black dude repeats himself. Dodges.
What is they cannot get to the airfield? Too bad, NO CAPABILITY. Dependent with diplomacy. Yes, the most powerful military is Taliban's bitch.
Milley messages have went out. Not everyone is required to sign up for the email. Working for procedures.
Why was the other airport abandoned (in the middle of the night). Uzbekistan airport, pilots crashing.
Significant forces, expanded. (Might I remind you we have not lost a SINGLE soldier for a long time there).
Bogram airport was larger. Cannot discuss it.
Offense begin weeks ago, should you have pushed harder. Ask Taliban to allow Afghans through. Dynamic environment. Working better then it was. Issue is processing.
(Take them all and process them in the US dumb ass).
Should you have pushed harder. Miley no time for regrets. They fuck off.
SHIT SHOW.
