Accountability: Secretary of Defense Review of the Afghanistan Debacle | The Rob Maness Show EP 528

Lt Col Scheller was right and I’m glad he’s on the team the Secretary of Defense has established to conduct this review. We all dedicated years, in my case the last decade of my 32-year career, to defeating the enemy in Afghanistan. Sadly, we did defeat the enemy but transitioned to a nation-building mission that led directly to the epic failure we saw culminate under the Biden Administration. The blood of Americans was spilled unnecessarily and hundreds of civilians died because of the decisions made in the years and months leading up to their deaths. However no senior officer or civilian decision makers have been held accountable for the tragedy, in fact today you’ll learn that some have even been promoted to four-star level and handed command of critically important organizations. I think it’s more than appropriate we talk about this review effort today, the day after Memorial Day, the day in which we honor those Americans who’ve fallen in service to our country. That is why my guest today is Senior Geopolitical Strategist, Drone Expert, Author, and Retired Lt Col and Army Helicopter Pilot Darin Gaub. Lt Col Gaub spent four years of his service in Afghanistan and at one point wrote a plan to evacuate the country in the event of an emergency.
