Many, which is now retired, has not immediately responded to a request for comments from Fox News Digital.

The Taliban seized almost all of $ 7 billion in equipment that American troops found in Afghanistan during the withdrawal process, according to a report from the Ministry of Defense in 2022.

While American troops have withdrawn or destroyed most of the large equipment, planes, vehicles on the ground and other weapons have been left in Afghanistan. The state of these articles remains unknown, but the Pentagon declared in the report that the equipment would probably fail on the operational plan without maintenance of American entrepreneurs.

In 2021, president Joe Biden Signed to draw American troops from Afghanistan, according to the existing plans of the first Trump administration in 2020 with Taliban leaders to end the conflict.

While Trump typed Millery to be president of the chiefs of staff joined in 2019, the relationship between the two was taken up against after Cany apologized for appearing next to Trump in uniform during a photo session in front of the White House during the demonstrations in 2020 after the death of George Floyd in the hands of a police officer.

Many has declared in his apologies that his appearance “had created a perception of the soldiers involved in domestic policy”.

“As a commissioned uniform officer, it was an error that I learned, and sincerely I hope that we can all learn from it,” said Many in the excuses.

Since then, Trump has published various threats to Many, as suggesting that Many deserved to face the execution for actions, in particular by speaking to Chinese officials. Before the departure post, Biden issued a preventive forgiveness to Canyy to protect the retired general of Trump’s rewarding actions.

Many gypsies to the legislators of the Chamber’s Foreign Affairs Committee in March 2024 that he and the commander of the US central command at the time of withdrawal, General Marin Kenneth F. McKenzie Jr., both advised Biden to keep certain American troops in Afghanistan after shooting most of the forces.

“The result in Afghanistan is the result of numerous decisions of many years of war,” Millery told legislators. “Like any complex phenomenon, there was no unique causal factor that determined the result.”
