I was a captain in Afghanistan and we used to go to the headquarters in Kabul, where there were 50 flags. It was a beautiful sight: 50 different countries supporting the NATO alliance and the ISAF mission. Besides that, maybe five of them contributed to the operations. By the end of the mission, only one or two countries were actually involved in combat operations. We even joked that the ISAF patch (International Security Assistance Force) meant "I Saw Americans Fighting" – Hegseth said. #Pentagon #Afganistan #NATO (translated)

Pete Hegseth, the head of the Pentagon, sparked outrage among military personnel by claiming that US allies in Afghanistan had a limited contribution to operations, which drew criticism from General Roman Polko, who accused him of trampling on the graves of fallen soldiers. #Pentagon #Afganistan #NATO (translated)

Vojtěch Gibiš wrote that Hegseth is likely to be remembered in history as the worst U.S. Secretary of Defense and described him as a great liar. He claimed that he offended three dozen countries whose soldiers died in Afghanistan in the interests of the U.S. He also recalled Nikolaj Martynov, Milan Štěrba, Radim Vaculík, Adrian Werner, David Beneš, Ivo Klusák, Libor Ligač, Jan Šenkýr, Jaroslav Lieskovan, Martin Marcin, Kamil Beneš, Patrik Štěpánek, and Tomáš Procházka. #historie #USA #obrana (translated)
