Retired Rear Admiral John Kirby ;now the National Security Council spokesperson was put forward to be the sacrificial lamb. He disgraced himself .

But now he disputes claims about a chaotic withdrawal .
"For all this talk of chaos, I just didn't see it. Not from my perch. At one point during the evacuation, there was an aircraft taking off full of people, Americans and Afghans alike, every 48 minutes. And not one single mission was missed,"

He was there and saw what we saw ;people climbing the airport walls to get to the tarmac .Hundreds of people running for the chance to climb on a transport exterior to plunge to their certain death. Taliban manning the gates of the airport we were evacuating from . Thousands of Americans and Afghanisis loyal to the Americans left behind. Billions of dollars of American military hardware left behind . Russia emboldened to go on the attack .
That is just some of the fiasco he should've seen from his "perch". He is a disgrace.
