87 Ex-Military Officers Call on Milley, Austin to Resign Over Afghanistan; Biden Urged to Step Down

Calls for President Biden and top military officials to resign. Nearly 90 retired generals and admirals call on top military officials to resign. They're calling on Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and chairman of the joint chiefs of staff General Mark Milley to resign over the withdrawal from Afghanistan. Their open letter reads: “The hasty retreat has left an unknown number of Americans stranded in dangerous areas controlled by a brutal enemy along with Afghans who supported American forces.” They added “The retired flag officer signers believe these top military advisors should have resigned as a matter of conscience and public statement.” And the House of Freedom Caucus is voicing concern over the way the evacuation in Afghanistan was handled, they're calling on President Biden to resign. That's after U.S. troops fully withdrew from Afghanistan but American citizens remained. The last U.S. military plane departing Kabul yesterday marked the end to a 20 year presence there. Now questions remain as to what happens to the gear left behind, and the Afghan allies still in the country. A group of former U.S. Green Berets and SEAL Team members launched a mission called “Pineapple Express.” That’s named after an Afghan commando they had served with. The commando had contacted them, saying he was on the run from the Taliban, and his visa was not approved when the Taliban took over. The task force worked with the U.S. military at the Kabul airport. They told the Afghan troops and their families to go to an airport gate, and identify themselves with the password “pineapple” or show pictures of pineapples on their phones. They were then put on board a plane. And a wounded war veteran is now the first American man to win gold in a Paralympic triathlon. Brad Snyder was blinded by an explosive device while serving in Afghanistan. But that didn’t stop him. Snyder raced alongside his guide and fellow triathlete Greg Billington. He's taking the gold just 3 years after switching from competing in swimming. Tune into Deep Dive as we explore these topics and more.
