The Trump transition team is compiling a list of senior current and former U.S. military officers who were directly involved in the botched 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan and is exploring whether they could be court-martialed for their involvement, according to reports from NBC News. The team is considering charges up to treason for some officers. The effort may also include establishing a commission to investigate the military's decision-making process during the withdrawal, which has been criticized as a humiliation.
