On Wednesday's broadcast of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain responded to former CENTCOM Commander Gen. Frank McKenzie's (Ret.) criticism of the handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal that people should have been evacuated earlier and the events of the evacuation were set in motion when the decision to leave completely was made in April 2021 by saying that Americans aren't going to be killed "fighting in Afghanistan" and won't spend money on the Afghan government anymore.
