Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla., on upcoming House hearings on the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal and the need to defend America’s bordersfor his handling of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan – arguing the president placed"political optics" over military strategy in the chaotic final months of America's longest war.
Cory Mills and members of the team he helped assemble to evacuate an American family from Afghanistan. They duped a Taliban guard by convincing him that the woman was his wife and the children were his, Mills added.

"This botched withdrawal ultimately led to our adversaries coming more aggressive toward us because they looked at this as a massive failure on a world stage level, and we know that weakness invites aggression," Mills argued.
