Retired Gen. David Petraeus, who led U.S. forces in Afghanistan under the Obama administration, said on Monday the outcome of the war there is “catastrophic,” after the Taliban took control of the capital city of Kabul.

Petraeus, when asked by NBC’s Lester Holt if the U.S. just lost the war in Afghanistan, said the situation unfolding in the region is “heartbreaking” and “tragic.”

“I do think there were alternative approaches, options that we in fact should have considered. I've counseled those for many years,” continued Petraeus, who also previously served as the director of the CIA and the commander of U.S. Central Command, both under former President Obama.

Self-serving and pretentious. And an enemy of the 2nd Amendment to boot.

Well I’m no military expert by ANY strech but even I know you don’t pull troops out and then have to send twice as many back in to cover for the moronic decision of pulling them out in the first place.

I could care less what this traitor thinks. If there were any justice, he would be in the brig.

He didn’t just cheat on his wife. He betrayed his country for his mistress.

Alien/Human hybrid.

She has man hands too.

But you do think U.S. service members should keep dying to occupy a country that will revert back to what it was within days after we leave? Do U.S. service members lives have any value?
