Embattled Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley will appear in front of Congress Tuesday — to face one of the most contentious hearings in memory over the botched Afghanistan withdrawal that led to the deaths of 13 US service members in its final days. Milley,63, is one of the top Pentagon officials called to testify over the chaotic ending of the 20-year war in Afghanistan that allowed the Taliban to almost instantly take back power. It will include questions over the predicted suicide bombing at Kabul airport that killed 13 US service members and 169 Afghans. Milley is also expected to be quizzed over the US revenge drone attack that he hailed as a “righteous strike” against ISIS-K — but had actually wiped out 10 civilians, most of them children.
