Dem senator who bashed Hegseth's qualifications stands by DOD sec who oversaw botched Afghan withdrawal

The article discusses Democratic Senator Tammy Duckworth's stance on Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, despite criticisms regarding the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021. Duckworth, who previously questioned the qualifications of Fox News host Pete Hegseth for a potential role in the Department of Veterans Affairs, defended Austin by highlighting his extensive military background and leadership experience. She argued that Austin's military service, including his time as a four-star general and his role in the Middle East, equips him well for his current position, despite the mishandled withdrawal. Duckworth emphasized the need for accountability but also pointed out the complexities of the situation inherited by the Biden administration, suggesting that Austin's overall qualifications and experience should not be overshadowed by this single event.
