On Tuesday, two retired military generals testified concerning the US withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021 to a Republican-led committee of International Affairs.

The Afghanistan withdrawal in 2021 was the biggest Non-combatant evacuation operation (NEO) in US historical past. US troops pulled out after 20 years in Afghanistan, and the ultimate few weeks had been lethal and chaotic because the Taliban swept to energy.
