The Trump transition team is compiling a list of senior current and former U.S. military officers who were directly involved in the withdrawal from Afghanistan and exploring whether they could be court-martialed for their involvement, according to a U.S. official and a person familiar with the plan.

Officials working on the transition are considering creating a commission to investigate the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan, including gathering information about who was directly involved in the decision-making for the military, how it was carried out, and whether the military leaders could be eligible for charges as serious as treason, the U.S. official and person with knowledge of the plan said.


"They're taking it very seriously," the person with knowledge of the plan said.

Experts condemn Trump’s reported plan to court-martial military leaders, calling it authoritarian and a distraction from his Cabinet controversies. Critics argue it undermines civil-military norms and will ultimately backfire.

Grandstanding & dumb.

I'll believe it when I see it, but in an ideal world it would happen.....we have been betrayed.

Court martial is dumb in this case. Simply giving them a less than satisfactory fit rep (performance review) is usually enough to finish most officer's careers. It puts them below "The Line." That is, they're passed over for promotion because their position on the list of officers to be promoted falls below who actually gets promoted, and when that happens more than twice, you're gone. You are put, at best, in IRR status, and lose your commission at worst.
