IS THERE NOTHING DONALD TRUMP CAN'T DO?

A recent Mahablog headline says it all, doesn't it?  "Trump Is Preparing to Gut the Defense Department."

Wait, hasn't that been a pacifist fantasy for years?

The Trump transition team is compiling a list of senior current and former U.S. military officers who were directly involved in the withdrawal from Afghanistan and exploring whether they could be court-martialed for their involvement, according to a U.S. official and a person familiar with the plan.

Officials working on the transition are considering creating a commission to investigate the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan, including gathering information about who was directly involved in the decision-making for the military, how it was carried out and whether the military leaders could be eligible for charges as serious as treason, the two sources said.

It's an NBC article, there's not much in the way of sourcing, and Team Trump isn't talking to the legacy media.  It's interesting how the Mahablog addresses that treason.  "Just the use of the word 'treason' tells me the people pursuing this are extremists and fanatics who want to punish someone, not people who are serious about improving the military."

Couldn't we have said the same thing about having Melvin Laird in the dock as a war criminal?
