Who's to Blame for the Afghan War? The Iraq and Afghanistan veteran President-elect Donald Trump picked to be defense secretary, Fox television personality Pete Hegseth, got very worked up at his confirmation hearing yesterday on the question of accountability for America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Even though Trump has not officially been inaugurated, the Senate can confirm cabinet members before his Oath of Office.

In a heated Senate confirmation hearing for Pete Hegseth, Sen. Tammy Duckworth grilled the proposed defense secretary over the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, asking him if he could name one member and how many countries were in the bloc.
