I think it was chaotic. I think it was really, really hard to watch, particularly for anyone who\u2019s ever spent time in Afghanistan or spent years of their lives focused on kind of the future and the possibility that existed in Afghanistan. But I think that you can say, yes, it was a bad reality in August, but it wasn\u2019t the decisions of just July and June that got us there or the kind of choices that we made in August. It\u2019s 20 years worth of decision-making and 20 years worth of choices that led us to the point.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p><em>Follow <\/em><em>Ian&nbsp;Hanchett on Twitter&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IanHanchett\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@IanHanchett<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During an interview with CBS\u2019 \u201cThe Takeout\u201d podcast recorded on Tuesday and released on Friday, Rep.
