Kenneth McKenzie, the head of U.S. Central Command) say that they recommended a number of troops be left behind in Afghanistan prior to the pullout surrender that took place.  Biden says that he was never told that.  Somebody is lying to the American public, who is it?  I have three theories on this.

1.  Biden is lying when he says that he was never told that.  If this is true, then that is pretty much grounds for impeachment.

2.  Biden stated that (paraphrasing) "nobody said that that I can recall".  If that is true then the 25th amendment is certainly in play.

3.  The advisors are lying to basically "cover their [BLEEP]".

Keep in mind that the three advisors were all under oath at the time that they gave their testimonies.

I personally lean towards either #1 or #2 in this situation, even though I think that all 3 advisors should have been fired by now.

Being that part of Trump's plan was to keep a small presence of troops (and likely CIA operators) in country to keep everyone in check I'd say he was advised to keep to that plan but because it was a Trump administration plan he was against it. He's overturned nearly everything the Trump administration put into place so it wouldn't surprise me if Biden and his admin were against it. 

I agree they should all be fired and Biden should be impeached. It needs to go on record that he screwed this up so badly that the UK's parliament held Biden in what is considered an "unprecedented dishonor"- contempt for the withdrawal fiasco and it came from across the political spectrum. They condemned Trump for many things but they never formally held him in contempt of anything. To me that's saying something because those folks loathed Trump like nobody's business.
