"Retired Generals Take Responsibility for Afghanistan Airport Attack"

Retired Gen. Kenneth F. McKenzie Jr., who oversaw the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal, took full responsibility for the attack at Kabul's airport that killed 13 U.S. service members and 170 Afghan civilians. At a congressional hearing, he and retired Gen. Mark Milley testified about the chaotic withdrawal, with lawmakers seeking answers and documents related to the decision-making process. The hearing also highlighted differing views on the Biden administration's handling of the withdrawal, with some attributing blame to former President Trump.
