Fox News
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley hailed military heroism in Afghanistan, in the top Pentagon officials’ first public remarks since the complete withdrawal of U.S. military assets from the region.
He added: "America’s longest war has come to a close." Austin remembered the 2,461 American service members and personnel who "paid the ultimate price" in the two-decade war, and the more than 20,000 wounded Americans, some of which, he said, are "still carrying the scars that you can’t see on the outside."More Related News
