Service members forced to "play God" amid chaotic Afghan withdrawal, Army investigation details

New documents detail how the administration's lack of coordination over the withdrawal from Afghanistan put the burden on young service members to "play God" on who left Kabul.  

The Army investigation into the August 26 Abbey Gate attack at the airport in Kabul that killed 13 U.S. service members and 170 Afghan civilians included interviews with over 130 people who detailed the weeks ahead of the noncombatant evacuation and its final days. 

"Besides conducting crowd control, Marines at Abbey Gate were forced to play God by identifying who would be allowed into the airfield," one military official told investigators.
