Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has decided on investigators to look into the mess that was the Afghanistan withdrawal.
In an interview with Breitbart, Hegseth said “We’ve already identified folks that’ll be in charge of that full investigation inside the Pentagon . . . I don’t have a timeframe on it. Sadly, we’ve already waited two-and-a-half years, three years since what occurred. I don’t want to wait longer, but I always want to get it right,”
The entire withdrawal was screwed up and Hegseth wants answers. “So, we’re going to drive that full investigation and get a sense of what happened. And as I stated to the workforce on Friday, I guess less than a week ago, accountability will be coming for what happened in Afghanistan, and that’s important to reestablishing trust at the Defense Department,” he said.
As of right now, the only officer to be punished for the withdrawal that cost 13 US service members their lives, was LtCol Stuart Scheller. Except Scheller wasn’t involved directly in the debacle. His sin was making a video complaining about the lack of accountability at the flag levels in the military. He has been named as a senior advisor to the DOD under Hegseth.
