Remember when trump got on his knees for the taliban and agreed to every single one of their conditions? Even drew down to just one working airbase, against the advice of the military, just to please our enemies. Even boasted that he timed the withdrawal for after the election so that if it all went to shit, the blame wouldn't do much.
Good luck on rewriting history buddy.
Nothing i posted was inaccurate dipshit... lol
Top former generals say planning failures of Biden administration drove chaotic fall of Kabul
The final two weeks of the U.S. presence was marred by a deadly Abbey Gate suicide bombing in Kabul that took the lives of 13 service members.

The top two U.S. generals who oversaw the evacuation of Afghanistan as it fell to the Taliban in August 2021 blamed the Biden administration for the chaotic departure, telling lawmakers Tuesday that it inadequately planned for the evacuation and did not order it in time.
Evacuation orders must come from the State Department, but in the weeks and months before Kabul fell to the Taliban, the Pentagon was pressing the State Department for evacuation plans, and was concerned that State was not ready, McKenzie said.
“We had forces in the region as early as 9 July, but we could do nothing,” McKenzie said, calling State’s timing “the fatal flaw that created what happened in August.”
“I believe the events of mid and late August 2021 were the direct result of delaying the initiation of the (evacuation) for several months, in fact until we were in extremis and the Taliban had overrun the country,” McKenzie said.
Milley was the nation’s top-ranking military officer at the time, and had urged President Joe Biden to keep a residual force of 2,500 forces there to give Afghanistan’s special forces enough back-up to keep the Taliban at bay and
allow the U.S. military to hold on to Bagram Air Base, which could have provided the military additional options to respond to Taliban attacks.
Biden did not approve the larger residual force, opting to keep a smaller force of 650 that would be limited to securing the U.S. embassy. That smaller force was not adequate to keeping Bagram, which was quickly taken over by the Taliban.
