can recall. i recommended that we maintain 2500 troops in afghanistan. we mained consistent throughout that we should keep a steady state of 2500 and auto coo bounce up to 3500 maybe, something like that. u.s. top generals contradicting president biden he ignored their advice to keep troops in afghanistan. jillian: michael waltz will be questioning pentagon leaders today. thank you for being here and your service as always. look. sure. jillian: you have the president saying one thing. you have the top generals saying another thing. and there is no middle ground here. so how do we get to the about the of this? well, i have never seen a grand canyon size gulf between the commander-in-chief and his generals as we are seeing unfold. i think you will see it today with the house armed services committee that just a quick review, we had biden say on national television he wasn t advised. nobody told him to leave troops. we now have the top three generals saying that they did.
