US President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team is actively compiling a list of senior military officers involved in the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan. They aim to assess whether these individuals could face court martial for their roles in what they term a “disrespectful” evacuation.

The team is considering establishing a commission to scrutinize the withdrawal process. According to NBC News, this commission would investigate the decision-making process, the execution of the withdrawal, and the potential for charging involved military leaders with offences, including treason.

A source familiar with these plans emphasized the seriousness of this effort, noting that Matt Flynn, a former deputy assistant secretary of defence, is spearheading this initiative.

The withdrawal marked the end of a 20-year US military presence in Afghanistan, initiated in October 2001. The process culminated in a chaotic evacuation from Kabul’s airport, which significantly tarnished the US’s global image. This event occurred shortly after President Biden had assured that a Taliban takeover was not inevitable, contradicting his administration’s projections.

The chaotic scenes at Kabul airport, where at least five people died as thousands tried to flee the Taliban’s rapid advance, have led Republican lawmakers to criticize the Biden administration for what they call a “failed” withdrawal. This period saw Afghanistan’s President Ashraf Ghani flee the country, heightening the sense of crisis as both locals and foreigners scrambled to escape.
