Milley and McKenzie critical of delays in decision making during Afghanistan withdrawal: 'Far too late'

Former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Mark Milley and former U.S. Central Command Commander Kenneth McKenzie testified that slow decision making plagued Afghanistan withdrawal.

Of particular concern to McKenzie was that the State Department, which was responsible for coordinating the evacuation of U.S. citizens and some Afghan allies, was behind the pace of the Defense Department, which was overseeing the withdrawal of U.S. troops and equipment from the country.
