Margaret Brennan(@margbrennan):It has been five years since the US & NATO withdrew from Afghanistan as it fell once again to Taliban control. It is six years since the Trump deal with the Taliban to withdraw. Today is a painful day for the families of the 13 Americans and 170 Afghans killed at Abbey Gate during that chaotic exit. Today the Pentagon spox said Hegseth's team is still doing their own review of what happened. Meanwhile the congressional War Commission review is held until 2027.
