Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced a new investigation into the Biden administration's withdrawal from Afghanistan, aiming for accountability following a series of previous inquiries that yielded no consequences for military personnel involved. The investigation is expected to target former military leaders, especially Gen. Mark Milley. Hegseth's actions have been met with enthusiasm from conservatives but pose risks, as they could be manipulated by the Trump administration for political gains, particularly against Milley, who has already faced scrutiny and lost certain security privileges due to his outspoken criticisms of Trump.
"The new probe will likely focus on the decisions and advice made by Gen. Mark Milley and Gen. Keith McKenzie regarding the Afghanistan withdrawal."
"Hegseth's renewed search for 'accountability' is a risky move as the Trump administration might use it against the president's perceived enemies."
