Trump transition team creating roster of current and former U.S. military officers for potential courts-martial

The Trump transition team is compiling a list of senior current and former U.S. military officers involved in the Afghanistan withdrawal and considering potential court-martial charges. They are exploring the possibility of creating a commission to investigate the withdrawal process, including potential treason charges for military leaders. President Trump has criticized the withdrawal as humiliating and embarrassing. The Trump administration is looking at the option of recalling several commanders to active duty for possible charges. The focus may be on lesser charges rather than treason, to set an example. Trump is reportedly looking to avoid hiring Democratic generals in his second term to prevent policies that weaken national security or violate the Constitution. Former officials from Trump’s first administration have advised against actions that may inflame tensions or violate the Constitution. Overall, the transition team is taking the review of the Afghanistan withdrawal very seriously and is looking to hold accountable those involved in the decision-making process.
