Retired Army Brigadier General Don Bolduc criticized President Biden Friday over his handling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan.
"This is unprecedented. I went in in 2001 and served nine more tours after that, lost 72 service members. I think about their legacy. I think about their sacrifice and their families, and in the way this has been handled, this lack of ineffective leadership and this poor demonstration of policy and strategy," he said on"America's Newsroom.
"This is a time for bold action. This is not time to sit back on your hands and [for] hand wringing. It's time to roll up our sleeves," he said."The airports in Herat, Mazar-e-Sharif, Kunduz, Kabul, Bagram, Kandahar – secure those and then move forward with safe corridors, go into the areas, the provincial areas, the district areas, the villages [and] provide safe passage of American citizens and Afghans that we need to get out of there" Bolduc added.
