Vice President Kamala Harris has been defended by a group of 10 senior military officials amidst criticism over the Afghanistan withdrawal. Retired Army Brigadier General Steve Anderson, one of the signatories, highlighted the failures of former President Donald Trump's leadership in Afghanistan, emphasizing that Trump negotiated directly with the Taliban and left a chaotic situation for the current administration to handle.
General Anderson expressed his belief that Harris and President Biden did their best given the circumstances they inherited. He acknowledged that while the Afghanistan withdrawal could have been executed better, the blame ultimately falls on the president rather than the vice president.
