‘Derelict In His Duty’: New York Post Editorial Board Calls On Gen. Milley To Resign

The New York Post editorial board on Sunday called on Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley to resign over the closing of Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan.

President Joe Biden said at a press conference Thursday that the military advised him to close the U.S. base and instead use Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul to evacuate the thousands of Americans still remaining in the country.

“They concluded — the military — that Bagram was not much value added, that it was much wiser to focus on Kabul,” the president told reporters. “And so, I followed that recommendation.”

Milley said securing Bagram took “a significant level of military effort” at an Aug. 18 briefing, adding the military’s task “given to use at the time … was to protect the Embassy in order for Embassy personnel to continue to function.” As a result, he said, “we had to collapse one or the other.”

  1. This is one past General appointed by Biden should NEVER had been appointed. He worked under Obama and that sure should have told people enough that this country does not need the old Obama cabinets back in office and the travesty they brought back then. This is just another Obama repeat.
