The deadly airstrike that demolished the medical facility in Afghanistan last fall, killing 42 people, prompted multiple investigations. The Pentagon has punished 16 U.S. service members, including a two-star general, for their roles in the attack but in ways that fall far short of criminal charges, according to the Los Angeles Times:
• One two-star general was suspended from command “and ordered out of Afghanistan.”
• Six were sent to counseling
• Seven were issued letters of reprimand
• Two were ordered to retraining courses
