You watched what happened in Afghanistan, that botched action. Why did we close Bagram’s base? Why did we allow those prisoners to get out? Why would we even close in the summer and withdraw? Why would we withdraw without bringing out all the Americans first? All of these decisions should actually be investigated, so they don't get repeated. – House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy	Found on FOX News 1 year ago
It was a very sad time for our country. I want him to forget politics, I want him to do well. He's got to do well, our country is in trouble… I don't think we've ever had anything like it in this country. When you look at that horrible situation in Afghanistan, the way they got out, getting out was good but the way they got out, we could have gotten that with strength and with dignity and kept Bagram [Air Base]. – Donald Trump	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
I’m not saying we’ve got to be in Afghanistan forever, but I am saying: Did any of you throw your rank on the table and say, ‘Hey, it’s a bad idea to evacuate Bagram Airfield, a strategic airbase, before we evacuate everyone?’ did anyone do that? And when you didn’t think to do that, did anyone raise their hand and say, ‘We completely messed this up?'. – Stuart Scheller	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
Retaining Bagram would have required putting as many as five thousand U.S. troops in harm's way, just to operate and defend it. And Retaining Bagram would have contributed little to the mission that we had been assigned, and that was to protect and defend our embassy which was some 30 miles away, staying at Bagram -- even for counter - terrorism purposes -- meant staying at war in Afghanistan, something that the President made clear that he would not do. – Lloyd Austin	Found on CNN 2 years ago
I think we heard from our generals about what transpired … The person we need to hear from is the president of the United States, i mean, this even caused more questions I think for President Biden, which are: ‘You said none of your military said anything to you about keeping forces on the ground, about keeping Bagram Air Base … you said you couldn’t recall it’ -- Well, clearly your generals said they did tell you. – Michael Haley	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
Staying at Bagram, even for counter-terrorism purposes, meant staying at war in Afghanistan, something that the President made clear he would not do. – Lloyd Austin	Found on CNN 2 years ago
Our task was to protect the embassy, if we were to keep both Bagram and the embassy going, that would be a significant number of military forces. So, we had to collapse one or the other, and a decision was made. – Mark Milley	Found on FOX News 2 years ago

Clearly, the detainees who were released by The Taliban at Bagram Air Base included a number of al Qaeda personalities, with whom I am very familiar, many of them were caught in joint military or CIA-supported operations and immediately transferred to Afghan custody upon which they were charged, convicted and put away. Those folks are force multipliers for the The Taliban, and they are likely to regroup what is left of al Qaeda in Afghanistan. – Douglas London	Found on CNN 2 years ago
I fear we're going to leave Afghanistan the way we left Bagram : in the middle of the night, without telling our Afghan friends. – Matt Zeller	Found on CNN 2 years ago
The way that the handover of Bagram Air Base went down appears to have been very poorly coordinated and that reality and perception is not helpful to American interests. It's almost a microcosm of what we've seen more broadly, and that is poor planning. – Bradley Bowman	Found on CNN 2 years ago
There’s something sadly symbolic about how the U.S. has gone about leaving Bagram. The decision to take so much away and destroy so much of what is left speaks to the U.S. urgency to get out quickly. – Michael Kugelman	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
The closure of Bagram is a major symbolic and strategic victory for the Taliban. – Bill Roggio	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
Bagram formed a foundation for the wartime experience of a large fraction of U.S. military members and contractors who served in Afghanistan, the departure of the last U.S. troops from there will likely serve as the final turn of the page for many of these folks with respect to their time in that country. – Jonathan Schroden	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
Bagram grew into such a massive military installation that, as with few other bases in Afghanistan and even Iraq, it came to symbolize and epitomize the phrase ‘mission creep’. – Andrew Watkins	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
