Of course Defense Secretary Lloyd "EEOC Token" Austin has no regrets. The Taliban is laughing to his face.

how was this muttonhead ever admitted to West Point and more importantly how did he ever rise to the rank of General? - OK, I got it and the answer is as clear as the stars on his shoulders and the General's pension he collects every month but that still doesn't answer my question

Austin, and further down the page Mayorkas prove that they are mentally ill in those video clips. Austin is so stupid that he doesn't even say that he regrets that anyone died. Mayorkas can't say anything but repeat the stupid lies. These people hold our lives in their hands!
What has happened to so many people? Was it in the vaccine? Have we been gassed? Afghanistan was a text book withdrawal, Trump left the border wide open, it was left to Mayorkas to clean up the mess. Up is down, girls are boys, boys are girls, Biden got 81 million votes, parents are okay with kids at drag shows. Men CAN be Women of the Year and are qualified to "teach"women about being women....The the MSM champions the nut jobs and defends a MENTALLY ILL killer of babies and innocent adults who cared for them, Poor, misunderstood Audrey/Aiden. I wish there was a way to give these people a gigantic slap across the face on tell them to "Snap out of it!"

No regrets? None? Has the Sec. of Def. seen the row after row of top-notch military equipment gifted to the Taliban at taxpayer expense?

He doesn’t have the sense to be embarrassed. Nor does he care about the loss of life, the millions of dollars of equipment left behind, the deserting thousand of our allies there. They mean nothing to him. You can take that to the bank.

Austin wears that clear plastic full face mask because people tend to spit on him.
How could they not?

Lloyd Austin was not selected to be the Secretary of Defense because of his military acumen, you can tell that by his inability to even state that he regrets the deaths of members of the US armed forces during the long term U.S. experience and the Biden “bug-out” in Afghanistan. So it appears that just as in the past if a big shooting war starts, the US armed forces will have to sustain the first blow until all the dead wood political Pentagon Civilians and Generals are replaced by legitimate war fighting Civilians and Generals.

I still haven't found out how Austin, as ASSISTANT DIVISION COMMANDER in Iraq, was awarded a Sillver Star, the nation's THIRD HIGHEST award for VALOR in DIRECT COMBAT. Anyone? Bueller?

A massive total and complete disaster, incredible incompetence and he says "I don't have any regrets"......because nobody can do anything to him, so he just doesn't give a damn.

The strategy of this administration is just to ignore answering the question asked and simply make statements that say nothing.

He says he was just following orders, orders from “the President”.
There were no top brass resignations, not even as Biden checked his watch when our brave soldiers were returned in Flag-draped coffins.
Just following orders. No regrets.
No conscience.
Just following orders. An ominous admission.

I've posted this before; All 'people', (read not officers), above the rank of Colonel, should be replaced by men who got their promotions through doing a great job and thusly NOT by politicization!!!

So, Lloyd Austin our "esteemed" Secretary of Defense says that he has no regrets about the botched Afghanistan withdrawal that has and continues to cost lives. I humbly submit to all of you that this person also has no honor, integrity, courage, self-awareness, self-respect, leadership skill and intelligence. By the way Milley should ask Austin which one of them received their thank you letter from the Taliban first for all of the weapons and equipment that we left them.

Excellent posts. #8 Affirmative Action showed its evil hand when that hateful Mulatto Marxist waltzed into the oval orifice unvetted and UnAmerican. Trouble is, he's still there, playing out his scheme to destroy America and doing the damage summarized in this article and in these posts.
Another traitor, China Joe, is merely a disgusting pervert getting rich while the nation rots. What we need is another revolution to eliminate that treachery. MAGA

Come on people. Afghanistan was not important. The most pressing issue is renaming bases and ships, after all I am the classic example of a privileged minority proving the "Peter Principle" exists. This guy and Miley have never missed a meal. Is there any wonder why we can't get people to join the military. These are leaders?

#13: technical, but quite interesting. Austin’s commission was Infantry. Look at his decorations. He *does not* wear the much-desired Combat Infantry Badge (CIB).
Now, look at the criteria for the award of the Silver Star. The words, “gallantry in combat” against an enemy”, stand out.
If Austin, an Infantry Officer, had displayed gallantry in combat, he would’ve been wearing a CIB.
He didn’t.
Your question remains quite valid.

When the new President comes to office next year he should have a Rally and publicly fire him and 10-30 other Secretaries / Lawyers.

Austin and Milley should have to pay back the lost monies and armament a dollar a month. No "paid in full" until the debt is paid up. Forever and ever. "I don't have any regrets" said Austin. Oh. You mealy mouthed ignorant general. You and Medals Milley need to spend eternity in a dark brig cell. Oh I do go on and on. Shocked and sickened when I saw that all of our military belongings were just left there. Now it seems to be okay with S-head Austin... “I don’t have any regrets,” said Austin.
