They're laying the groundwork to purge officers that might push back on plans to abandon Ukraine, bar women from combat roles, discharge LGBTQIA+ service members, etc. If they think an officer may not roll over and support whatever the new administration wants, then threaten investigation and court martial unless they agree to step down quietly.

Purging the ranks, step one in any fascist takeover. Next, political opponents will be jailed.
Fucker negotiated with the Taliban (terrorist organisation) and did not include the Afghanistan Government in said negotiations.
The one that trump made happen by negotiations with the Taliban?
That one?
Fine.
Trump goes first to the gallows/firing squad.
This isn't a debate of legal or logical consistency, this is a power play. Investigations and charges of treason are for the opposition, not the Party and those loyal.
Well, then time to play power.
He isn't president yet.
My dream: Biden resigns 2 days before end of term.
Harris calls martial law. Declares trump and all cooperatives traitors. Executions same day.
Bombs Appalachian maga strongholds.
Fucks musk with a strapon before deporting him. Allowing him to take his own jet.
Shoots down his jet.
President-elect Donald Trump has condemned the withdrawal as a “humiliation” and “the most embarrassing day in the history of our country.”
Lol no.
I'm pretty sure the most embarrassing day was a couple of Tuesdays ago.
really tight competition with a day of doom eight years earlier--which, if that didn't happen, the more recent probably wouldn't have either.
He’ll have to court-martial himself:
The Trump administration in February 2020 negotiated a withdrawal agreement with the Taliban that excluded the Afghan government, freed 5,000 imprisoned Taliban soldiers and set a date certain of May 1, 2021, for the final withdrawal.
and then republicants blamed biden for the mess that was left behind.
As always. It's what they always do. They intentionally set dates in the future they know the Dems will likely be in charge, and let the bullshit they set into motion inevitably hit the fan while they blame the "current" government. And the media goes with it instead of calling them out on it because that's where the money is.
News organizations should be required to be non-profit. At least force them to try and hide the money trail.
And plenty of non-Republicans were ready to buy into that.
"Rules for thee, but not for me!"
Lets see if orange bitch oversteps it's welcome by pissing off the army for things they did under his command.
gasp
I never thought the leopards would eat MY face!
