Gen. Mark Milley said in a new interview with ABC's Martha Raddatz that he has 'lots of regrets' about how the United States' 20-year war in Afghanistan ended
"It didn't end the way I wanted it. That didn't end the way any of us wanted it," Milley said. "Look, at -- when the enemy is occupying your capital ... that's a strategic setback, strategic failure. That's what I testified to in public. And there's no way you can describe that as a strategic success."
"It exceeds that which came out of Vietnam during Operation Whirlwind," he said. "And those people are free today because of the courage and the bravery of all of those that were on the ground at the airport."
