Mr. "The Buck stops with me" blames his generals

WSJ: "Who Abandoned Bagram Air Base? - Biden says the military, but the military says he gave them little choice."
President Biden on Thursday essentially blamed his generals for the Bagram pullout. “They concluded—the military—that Bagram was not much value added, that it was much wiser to focus on Kabul,” he said. “And so, I followed that recommendation.” What Mr. Biden neglected to mention is that the President sets the constraints under which the military draws up plans and evaluates options.
The generals and Trump are to blame; anybody but Joey.
