(Bloomberg) – Defense secretary Pete Hegseeth announced a new probe in the withdrawal of the Afghanistan 2021, which was given accountability for what he called the “disastrous and embarrassing” handling of the events of the Biden of the events that led to the death of 13 American troops.
“We have an obligation for the American people and the war fighters who fought in Afghanistan to get the truth – and we will do that,” Hegseeth said in a statement. In a separate memorandum he said that the probe would “guarantee responsibility for the American people.”
The probe will be led by Hegseeth's senior adviser Sean Parnell, who served in Afghanistan, together with Stuart Scheller, a marine lieutenant general who was artIsized the court and left the service in 2021 after placing videos that criticized senior officials about the retreat.
The new assessment will contribute to various completed investigations into the admission and the events that have led to it. Last year, under the leadership of representative Michael McCaul van Texas, Republican legislators completed a two -year assessment that accused the administration of former President Joe Biden van Liegen against Americans and sacrificing the security of American soldiers during the withdrawal.
One of the researchers who are responsible for the findings of the McCaulprobe, journalist and author Jerry Dunleavy, will also participate in the new research by Parnell. Hegseeth said that the group would again investigate earlier investigations into the suicide attack in Abbey Gate in Kabul who killed the Americans and 170 Afghan citizens.
Democrats said that the McCaul report reported important findings and burned a partisan smear. While they accepted some debt for the extract, BIDEN administration officials tried to blame the actions that Trump undertaken during his first term, including a step to close the number of American troops and sign a deal with the Taliban while removing the Afghan government.
