Defense Department Retired US Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, President Donald Trump's first national security adviser, is in the spotlight for his critical statements on America's war in Afghanistan. His statements prompted an extensive Washington Post investigation on the history of misleading characterizations of the war from numerous other US officials. Officials and advisers spanning the White House and the Pentagon regularly peddled an optimistic view of Afghanistan's progress in securing the country, despite holding private reservations. "From the ambassadors down to the low level, [they all say] we are doing a great job," Flynn said to investigators, according to documents and audio recordings obtained by The Post.
