Austin Miller, the Commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan from 2018 through July of this year, reportedly warned Democrat President Joe Biden against withdrawing all forces from Afghanistan, and he strongly pushed back against intelligence reports that said the Afghan military could hold off the Taliban for 1-3 years, indicating that they would collapse significantly faster.<\/p>\n<p>Fox News reporter Jacqui Heinrich said that Miller made the remarks during a classified Senate Armed Services Committee hearing yesterday, according to multiple sources who were present in the hearing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccording to two members present for the hearing, Gen Miller passed his recommendations through the chain of command \u2014 that the US should keep a level of troops on the ground (2500 was the number at the time) in order to maintain stability given the Taliban threat assessment,\u201d Heinrich wrote. \u201cMiller\u2019s view was troops should maintain holding pattern \u2013 potentially supplemented by add\u2019l forces from allied nations \u2013 given the threat. Miller shared no recommendation on how long forces should have stayed, making clear he didn\u2019t know what the end timeline would be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMiller also said that he strongly dissented with the intel assessment that Afghanistan would fall to the Taliban between 1-3 years, saying he thought it would go much, much faster,\u201d Heinrich continued. \u201cMiller also said once his recommendation was turned down, it became his job to execute on the withdrawal order \u2013 and eventually, decisions like abandoning Bagram were made because of constraints and troop caps imposed by the President\u2019s orders.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"10.161016949153\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Miller also said that he strongly dissented with the intel assessment that Afghanistan would fall to the Taliban between 1-3 years, saying he thought it would go much, much faster.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jacqui Heinrich (@JacquiHeinrich) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JacquiHeinrich\/status\/1438228082914205708?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 15, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>A separate Fox News reporter said that Miller repeatedly warned Biden about the situation and about what his recommendation was.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/trump-hits-biden-on-9-11-over-afghanistan-disaster-well-struggle-to-recover-from-the-embarrassment-this-incompetence-has-caused\">pullout<\/a> from the country was marked by disturbing images and events, including people trying to jump on moving airplanes, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-afghans-try-to-jump-in-planes-taking-off-people-fall-from-planes-high-in-air-reports-say\">falling off<\/a>&nbsp;of airplanes, 13 U.S. soldiers being murdered in a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/13th-u-s-service-member-dies-in-afghanistan-now-deadliest-day-of-conflict-since-2011\">terrorist attack<\/a>, hundreds of Americans being&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-last-u-s-military-rescue-plane-leaves-afghanistan-american-citizens-left-behind\">left behind<\/a> after the U.S. Military pulled out, and a seemingly innocent family being killed in a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-target-in-kabul-drone-strike-was-aid-worker-no-ties-to-isis-or-secondary-explosion-nyt-reports\">drone strike<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
