Pentagon says hidden files could reshape view of Afghanistan exit

Pentagon officials say they recovered classified documents hidden away in safes that could shed new light on the chaotic Kabul airport pullout in August 2021, but offered no public details. The claim comes amid a ceremony to upgrade valor awards for troops who served at the airport and ongoing Republican criticism of the Biden-era withdrawal, with Democrats defending the decision. A new Afghanistan Withdrawal Special Review Panel is examining decisions leading to the exit, but no timeline for disclosures was provided.

Bravery or Fire? Donahue’s Ouster Ties to Kabul Evacuation

Rolling Stone reports that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ousted Gen. Chris Donahue, the four-star commander of U.S. Army Europe, in what critics call a purge of combat-tested leadership. The piece argues the firing stems from Donahue’s role directing the Kabul evacuation in 2021–22, including tense negotiations with the Taliban and coordinating refugee flights and aid—stories interwoven with Fazel Roufi’s family’s escape and Donahue’s last-flight departure. The article also notes ongoing investigations into the Afghanistan withdrawal and frames Donahue’s actions as a brave, duty-driven effort amid a controversial mission.
