“The past few days have been a roller coaster of emotions for me. [I’ve] been sad, and angry, and disappointed, and scared, and numb. It’s like losing my son all over again.

He really, deep down in his heart, believed that he was going to make a difference,” Catherwood said.She pointed out that although his actions may not have changed the outcome of the war, he was still able to make an impact.
“I’m still prideful of his service,” he continued. “It’s something he wanted his whole life, and he was following his dream.”For Milley, the war was due to end, but the handling of the removal of troops is where he finds fault.
