SUMMARY: NBC News chief Pentagon correspondent Jim Miklaszewski aired a clip of NBC News military analyst and retired Gen. Barry R. McCaffrey's criticism of a "definitive exit strategy" from Afghanistan "with a timeline." At no point during the segment did McCaffrey, Miklaszewski, or guest anchor Lester Holt disclose McCaffrey's ties to DynCorp International -- a company under contract to provide support to U.S. bases in Afghanistan for up to five years, as well as to train the Afghanistan National Police and the Ministry of Interior.
