Top U.S. General In Afghanistan Says After Troop Withdrawal The Country May Collapse In Civil War

U.S. Army Gen. Austin S. Miller, the U.S.'s top general in Afghanistan, speaks to journalists at the Resolute Support headquarters, in Kabul, Afghanistan, Tuesday, June 29, 2021. Miller on Tuesday gave a sobering assessment of the country's deteriorating security situation as America winds down its so-called “forever war.” He pointed to the rapid loss of districts around the country — several with significant strategic value — and said he fears the militias deployed to help the security forces could lead the country into civil war.

MSN/Washington Post: U.S. military commander in Afghanistan warns of possible civil war 

KABUL— The top American military commander here expressed deep concern Tuesday that the country could slide into civil war and face "very hard times" unless its fractious civilian leadership unites and the haphazard array of armed groups joining the anti-Taliban fight are controlled and made "accountable" for their actions in battle. 

The comments by Gen. Austin “Scott” Miller, who met with a group of journalists, came as Taliban forces continued their rapid advance across northern provinces and expanded into other rural regions. The insurgents also began circling closer to the capital city. 

In the past 48 hours, officials and Afghan media reported, Taliban fighters have overrun parts of two provinces just north and south of Kabul, and attacked security posts in a third that hugs the city’s western border.

The general has a PAO. Why did he not use him to talk a lot and say nothing?

"The conditions are set for winning this war"

- NATO’s ISAF Joint Commander Milley during Obama era


Milley literally failed upward, since he is a political general, who tells politicians what they want to hear.

Yes, but the General is missing the more important issues. Is "white rage" in the military being addressed? Are transgender soldiers who want a reassignment surgery getting their wishes? Are marxist programs withen the military being addressed?
