we had over 3,000 paramilitary support. we kept the air power and bagram air place. that was the agreement in place. everybody knew that. the plan was set to hold those forces until we had a good agreement in place, which was an agreement between the afghan government, ghani and the taliban. that was part of the agreement on february 29, 2020 called the doha agreement. until a stipulations were met, we were going to stay there. the president of the united states, donald trump, picked up the phone on march 3 and i was in the oval office when he made the call. he talked to the chief taliban negotiator and made it very clear using trumpian terms, what would happen if we violated the agreement? because of that we had no americans killed from the 29th of february, 2020 until president trump left office.
