This criticism coincides with the third anniversary of the deadly attack at Hamid Karzai International Airport, which resulted in the death of 13 American service members.

Do you think it's fair to hold one person accountable for a decision made by a team, especially in government?
@9SNGGD2Independent2yrs2Y
No, because many people can influence one person’s decision, especially in a group setting.
It's pretty clear that the GOP is using the anniversary of Afghanistan's withdrawal to unfairly target Vice President Harris, ignoring the complexity of ending America's longest war. Their focus should be on learning from the past to ensure smarter, more effective foreign policy decisions, not playing the blame game.
@HawkHankLibertarian2yrs2Y
Sounds like more political theater to me; the real issue is why we were there so long and not the theatrics of who said what during the withdrawal.
