Patriots,

The Taliban now has access to American-made weapons and technology. Hundreds of Americans remain stranded in Afghanistan and 13 American service members are dead.

The withdrawal from Afghanistan was a pure disaster, and White House leadership must be held accountable.

Today, I joined dozens of House Republican lawmakers in calling for Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley to resign.

In calling for their resignation, I am joining 90 retired generals and admirals ([link removed]) who have done the same. In a letter, they wrote:

"The consequences of this disaster are enormous and will reverberate for decades beginning with the safety of Americans and Afghans who are unable to move safely to evacuation points; therefore, being de facto hostages of the Taliban at this time. The death and torture of Afghans has already begun and will result in a human tragedy of major proportions. The loss of billions of dollars in advanced military equipment and supplies falling into the hands of our enemies is catastrophic. The damage to the reputation of the United States is indescribable. We are now seen, and will be seen for many years, as an unreliable partner in any multinational agreement or operation. Trust in the United States is irreparably damaged." (emphasis added)

I am currently working with my House colleagues to evaluate the next steps in holding President Biden to full account as well, and I'll be in touch as those decisions are made. But until then, there is no question that Secretary Austin and General Milley are culpable too, so they must resign.

Before concluding, I want to ask you to join me in praying for the 13 Gold Star families who lost their loved ones in Afghanistan. May God grant them peace.

In liberty,
