There are several forms of lying to non-believers that are permitted under certain circumstances, the best known being taqiyya (the Shia name). These circumstances are typically those that advance the cause of Islam - in some cases by gaining the trust of non-believers in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them. From: Understanding Taqiyya ― Islamic Principle of Lying for the Sake of Allah - Nordskog Publishing
A group called the Flag Officers 4 America has published a press release demanding the “resignation of the Secretary of Defense (SECDEF) and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS).”
"The people in that position right now are Lloyd J. Austin III and General Mark A. Milley, respectively. Both military leaders who have had to face questions and scrutiny over the last weeks in the midst of the Biden administration’s withdrawal from Kabul, Afghanistan.
"According to the letter, the concerns from former military officials are that the US military gave up key locations like Bagram air base (alongside the manpower therein), in tandem with not having a concrete plan to evacuate citizens in the meantime."

"The situation as it stands this evening is that the Biden administration formally ended their military presence in Afghanistan despite admitting several hundreds of Americans were left behind.
"President Biden said he trusts the Taliban* when it comes to how anyone else wants to get out.". . .
