Summary
The Trump transition team is reportedly considering investigating U.S. military leaders involved in the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal, with potential charges ranging from mismanagement to treason.
The effort aims to review decision-making, assess accountability for the chaotic exit, and possibly recall commanders to active duty for legal action.
Critics, including Trump and his allies, have condemned the withdrawal as a failure, citing deadly incidents like the Abbey Gate bombing and missteps in leadership.
Some insiders question the legality of such actions, while others frame the move as politically motivated.
Turns out if you rush people for no reason, a lot of shitty, half-baked decisions have to be made.
Accountability starts at the top. If these officers are guilty of treason, so is Trump.
MAGA: Communism bad!
Also MAGA: Stalin-esque purge of military brass on day one.
It seems like a bad idea to piss of the military if you are a wannabe dictator

He’s sending the same message to military commanders that he just sent to the US senate: “I am in charge. Get on board, or get run over.” Success here will ensure his control of the US military. The “hearings” will be a bunch of generals either being thrown in jail, or telling Trump what he wants to hear and throwing Biden under the bus. These hearings will be used to purge non-MAGA commanders from the military and give Trump complete control.
The withdrawal that Trump set in motion with his inept foreign policies…
The withdrawal was likely always going to be bad but Trump actually strengthened the Taliban prior to the planned exit date.
This is 100% a political stunt that will go nowhere. If this gets to a trial the jury is active duty military of the same rank or higher than the accused. That’s means the men’s and women that took over when these people retired will be the jury. These individuals served their careers together.
Even with a court martial not needing a unanimous jury, they won’t be able to field enough Trump supporters to convict that high up the chain.
You can’t be a dictator without having absolute control of the military.
Scared of the coup already
Don’t worry, we’ll just hole up in the Winchester until it all blows over. 🖖🏽
I’ll take Trump Fucked it up for $500, Alex.
The question…it’s a Daily Double!
