BREAKING: Trump team puts together a list of military officers to court martial involved in the botched Afghanistan withdrawal - NBC
Charges of "TREASON" are being considered for some officers...
They are also getting together a potential commission to investigate the withdrawal that resulted in American deaths.
WOAH.
The list includes both current and former U.S. military officials - and will be used to examine if they can be "court-martialed for their involvement."
“They’re taking it very seriously."
well this should grab their attention so to speak
NBC story here:
The Trump transition team did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Matt Flynn, a former deputy assistant secretary of defense for counternarcotics and global threats, is helping lead the effort, the sources said. It is being framed as a review of how the U.S. first got into the war in Afghanistan and how the U.S. ultimately withdrew.
Suppose, just suppose, that a private citizen had deliberately furnished everything left behind in the withdrawal to the Taliban. Weapons, comm gear, night vision, vehicles, aircraft, ammo, other supplies, money, everything.
How many individual felonies could be charged?
That’s what they did.
Cut and dried. Will they be demoted to private? Doubt it. They’ll still get their pensions at a lieutenants rate. Btw-I know nothing about military justice. It’s probably like military music.
Sounds like they are looking for avenues to Miley.
Obama fired all the competent Admirals and Generals so there was no one left to say what an orderly withdrawal looks like.
Again - There are 66 days, each one 24 hours long, until DJT is the President.
Warning these people in advance is not a good idea.
Trump promised the families of dead soldiers that he’d make those responsible pay for their ineptitude.
Too bad Lloyd Austin is a civilian...
“Suppose, just suppose, that a private citizen had deliberately furnished everything left behind in the withdrawal to the Taliban. Weapons, comm gear, night vision, vehicles, aircraft, ammo, other supplies, money, everything.”
You’re talking crazy talk. You’re seriously saying we should hold government officials to the same standards we are held?
You’re mad, I tell you.

I see a lot of retirements, resignations...wanting to spend time with family ...trial balloon???
Pointless. They will tried by careerist fellow officers who will not convict.
Just dismiss them and strip their clearances.
We should planned to withdraw troops after the assassination of Osama bin Laden in 2011. That should have taken us 6-12 months for an orderly withdrawal. But the MIC did not want that.
Biden was right to withdraw troops from Afghanistan but his withdrawal was a mess and we know that his generals are incompetent because they got promoted due to political loyalty to the Democratic Party.
Treason is defined in the Constitution to an impossible standard these days. Makes the whole story fake, fake, fake.
Just following Biden’s orders, which would seem absolutely legal, however cowardly and stupid.
Yes.
This is very good.
I would like the same applied for the COVID scam. This would cast a much further net.
The military is in the business of keeping track of anything making their guys sick or killing them. These traitors made this policy with eyes wide open.
Doesn’t the senior officer on the Court have to outrank the accused?
Might have to promote a 5 star. Flynn would be a good candidate.
I think the case could be made regarding COVID and the military response to it.
Or border patrol and DHS during the illegal invasion.
What do you call it when you lift the perimeter fence and let the enemy in under the wire?
Nope. Fake news.
