HE’S EVERYWHERE: As commander of the U.S. Central Command, Marine Corps Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, who goes by Frank, has the primary responsibility for executing the orderly withdrawal of all U.S. troops and American contractors from Afghanistan over the next four and one-half months.

I have expressed those publicly going back for a long period of time,” McKenzie said this week at a House Armed Services Committee hearing.
