Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin faced questions today in front of the House Armed Services Committee regarding the removal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan in August 2021.

When asked by Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.), Lloyd said he does not have any "regrets" about how the U.S. military withdrew its presence from the country.

“Has anyone been held accountable for what happened in Afghanistan?” Banks asked Austin again, to which the secretary responded, “To my knowledge, no.”
