Trump transition team creating roster of current and former U.S. military officers for potential legal action

The Trump transition team is reportedly compiling a list of senior military officers involved in the withdrawal from Afghanistan to explore potential court-martial charges. The team is considering creating a commission to review the withdrawal and assess if military leaders could face charges such as treason. President-elect Donald Trump has criticized the withdrawal as a humiliation and the most embarrassing day in U.S. history. The independent review blamed both the Trump and Biden administrations for the chaotic withdrawal. Trump’s choice for secretary of defense has criticized the withdrawal, calling it a humiliating retreat and stating that generals involved should be held accountable. The transition team is looking at the possibility of recalling several commanders to active duty for possible charges, with a focus on setting an example rather than pursuing treason charges. Trump has reportedly learned from his first administration to avoid hiring Democratic generals and has been advised against policies that could weaken national security or violate the Constitution.
