Nov 17, 2024, 03:00 AM

Trump's transition team is reportedly compiling a list of current and former U.S. military officers who were directly involved in the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan, with the intention of potentially court-martialing them for their involvement. According to an exclusive report by NBC News, the team is exploring whether charges, including treason, could be brought against these officers. The inquiry aims to uncover the decision-making processes of the military leadership during the chaotic withdrawal, which Trump has previously labeled as a "humiliation" and "disaster." The team is also assembling a commission to investigate who was involved and how decisions were made during the operation.
