Appearing on 60 minutes, former GW Bush and Obama Defense Secretary Robert Gates said watching the Afghanistan withdrawal sickened him.
“It was really tough… I actually wasn’t feeling very well… And I was just so low about the way it had ended,” Gates says. “The other feeling that I had was that it probably did not need to have turned out that way.”
“If you start with the notion that we’re pulling out entirely, I think you’d have to be pretty naïve not to assume things were going to go downhill once that withdrawal was complete,” he later added.
