Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a memo on Tuesday announcing a review of the U.S. military’s withdrawal from Afghanistan “to ensure that accountability for this event is met.”
Hegseth did not specify in the memo what type of actions might result from the review.
“The Department of Defense has an obligation, both to the American people and the warfighters who sacrificed their youth in Afghanistan, to get the facts,” Hegseth wrote in the memo.
