独家报道: 美国国防部针对阿富汗撤军的新一轮审查即将解密此前被列为机密的早期调查材料,重新审视拜登政府2021年拙劣撤军期间做出的关键决策。
据五角大楼顾问斯图·谢勒透露,这场计划在三个月内发布的审查将包含采访笔录、内部文件以及此前被官方认定为过度保密的调查结果。
“我们计划解密本次调查中参考的所有文件——所有采访笔录,以及拜登政府此前开展的所有被过度保密的调查,”谢勒在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时表示,“我们将解密全部内容,让所有人都能自行做出评判。”
与此前仅记录失败、未明确个人责任的审查不同,此次五角大楼的审查工作将审查范围扩大至更广泛的记录,并对高级军事领导人和普通士兵展开大范围采访。官员们表示,这一调查范围或能重新揭开2021年撤军期间谁做出了关键决策这一悬而未决的问题。
“问责制必将落实,”谢勒说道。

“我们约谈了许多人,包括所有关键将领……我们还采访了数千名年轻军人,”谢勒在采访中谈及这份报告时表示,“他们中的一些人表示,自己的经历没有得到认可。”
前总统唐纳德·特朗普曾多次就阿比门惨案(造成13名美军士兵死亡)抨击拜登政府,称2021年的撤军是“拜登的灾难”,是“我国历史上的最低点”。2025年5月,拜登政府下令开展新一轮五角大楼审查,官员称此举旨在推进问责制。
谢勒在此次审查中的角色与此前的经历形成鲜明反差:他曾因公开批评军方对撤军的处理方式而受到处罚。
当时还是莱琼姆营步兵训练部队指挥官的谢勒,在2021年8月发布了一段身穿军装的病毒式视频,要求高级领导人承担责任,由此引发全国关注。他被解除指挥职务、置于审前监禁,随后在军事法庭上认罪。
“我只是觉得,没有人站出来直言皇帝没穿衣服,”谢勒说道,“我这么做并非一时兴起。”
“上帝与我同在,我挺了过来。如今我正推动实现我当初指出的变革。”

美国国会、五角大楼和联邦监督机构此前开展的调查指出了撤军规划和执行过程中的一系列失误,包括撤离行动、情报评估和高层决策存在漏洞。
共和党主导的众议院外交事务委员会报告显示,尽管不断有情报警告喀布尔可能陷落,国务院仍未制定疏散美国公民和阿富汗盟友的计划,导致撤离行动推迟至塔利班进入首都后才启动。
报告还指出,在阿比门爆炸案发生前几天,美国官员就已掌握自杀式袭击的可信威胁——包括情报显示机场可能遭遇ISIS-K的袭击——但阿比门的行动仍照常进行。
这些情况目前正作为五角大楼审查的一部分被重新审视,包括地面海军陆战队的行动如何被认定。

谢勒表示,他的团队早期重点关注了驻扎在阿比门的部队,其中几名海军陆战队成员原本被提名获得更高奖项,但在审批过程中被降级。
“他们确实提交了奖项申请,后来被降级了。我们并非凭空捏造这些奖项,”谢勒说,“这七项奖项均已提交,我们掌握了最初申报文件的正式文书。”

此次奖项升级涉及海军陆战队第1团第2营G连的官兵,包括将嘉奖勋章升级为带有英勇勋章标志的勋章,其中一例还将铜星勋章升级为表彰作战英勇的勋章。
阿比门爆炸案造成13名美军士兵和150多名阿富汗人死亡,是多年来美军在阿富汗伤亡最惨重的一天。

拜登政府为其撤军举措辩护,称该决定结束了美国最长的战争,避免了更多美军伤亡,同时指责批评者将问题政治化。

Pentagon cracks open Biden’s botched Afghan withdrawal as sweeping report readies all the receipts

EXCLUSIVE: A new Pentagon review of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan is set to declassify previously restricted materials from earlier investigations, reopening scrutiny of key decisions made during the Biden administration’s botched 2021 exit from the country.
The review, which is planned for release in roughly three months, will include interview transcripts, internal documents and prior findings that officials say were overclassified, according to Pentagon adviser Stu Scheller.
“We plan to declassify all of the documents that we source in this investigation — all the interview transcripts, all the previous investigations that the Biden administration did that have been overclassified,” Scheller told Fox News Digital. “We’re going to declassify all of it so that everyone can make assessments for themselves.”
Unlike earlier reviews that cataloged failures but stopped short of pinning down individual responsibility, this Pentagon effort is examining a broader set of records and conducting extensive interviews with both senior military leaders and rank-and-file troops — a scope officials say could reopen unanswered questions about who made the key decisions during the 2021 withdrawal.
“There will be accountability,” Scheller said.

“We’ve talked to many people, all the key generals… and we also interviewed thousands of young service members,” Scheller told Fox News Digital of the report. “One of the things they said was that they didn’t feel like their experiences were validated.”
President Donald Trump has repeatedly blasted the previous Biden administration over the Abbey Gate tragedy that killed 13 U.S. service members, calling the 2021 withdrawal “a Biden disaster” and “the lowest point in the history of our country.” The administration in May 2025 ordered a new Pentagon review as part of what officials described as his push for accountability.
Scheller’s role in the review marks a striking reversal for a Marine officer who was previously punished after publicly criticizing the military’s handling of the withdrawal.
Then a lieutenant commanding an infantry training unit at Camp Lejeune, Scheller drew national attention in August 2021 after posting a viral video in uniform demanding accountability from senior leaders. He was relieved of command, placed in pretrial confinement and later pleaded guilty at a court-martial.
“I just felt like there wasn’t another voice that was going to advocate for the emperor’s not wearing clothes,” Scheller said. “I didn’t do it haphazardly.”
“God was with me on that one. I got through it. Here I am influencing the changes I originally pointed out.”

Previous investigations by Congress, the Pentagon and federal watchdogs identified a range of failures in planning and executing the withdrawal, including gaps in evacuation efforts, intelligence assessments and senior-level decision-making.
A Republican-led House Foreign Affairs Committee report found the State Department failed to develop a plan to evacuate Americans and Afghan allies despite mounting warnings that Kabul could fall, delaying evacuation efforts until the Taliban entered the capital.
The report also said U.S. officials were tracking credible threats of a suicide attack in the days leading up to the Abbey Gate bombing — including intelligence pointing to a potential ISIS-K attack at the airport — but operations at the gate continued.
Those conditions are now being reexamined as part of the Pentagon’s review, including how actions by Marines on the ground were recognized.

Scheller said his team focused early on the unit stationed at Abbey Gate, where several Marines had been nominated for higher awards that were later downgraded during the approval process.
“They had actually submitted awards that were downgraded. So we didn’t create these awards out of nothing,” Scheller said. “All seven of these awards were submitted and we had the formal paperwork from the original write-up.”

The upgrades affected Marines from Company G, 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines, including cases where commendation medals were elevated to include valor devices and, in one instance, a Bronze Star was upgraded to reflect combat heroism.
The bombing at Abbey Gate killed 13 U.S. service members and more than 150 Afghans, marking the deadliest day for U.S. forces in Afghanistan in years.

The Biden administration has defended its handling of the withdrawal, arguing the decision ended America’s longest war and prevented further U.S. casualties, while accusing critics of politicizing the issue.
A spokesperson for former President Joe Biden did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
