The generals of the US military do:
'The group went on to attack former President Trump for allegedly
setting up President Biden and Harris to fail in Afghanistan. They say
the Trump administration negotiated a deal "without involving the Afghan
government" and released 5,000 Taliban fighters back onto the battlefield.'

'"He left President Biden and Vice President Harris with no plans to
execute a withdrawal, and with little time to do so. This chaotic
approach severely hindered the Biden-Harris Administrationâs ability to
execute the most orderly withdrawal possible and put our service members
and our allies at risk. Nevertheless, President Biden with the support
of Vice President Harris ended Americaâs longest war, oversaw the
largest airlift in U.S. history, and brought our troops home," the
generals wrote.'
And:
'General Frank McKenzie, the head of Central Command, told the House
Armed Services Committee on Wednesday that once the US troop presence
was pushed below 2,500 as part of Washingtonâs bid to complete a total
withdrawal by the end of August, the unravelling of the US-backed Afghan
government accelerated.
âThe signing of the Doha agreement had a really pernicious effect on the
government of Afghanistan and on its military â psychological more than
anything else, but we set a date â certain for when we were going to
leave and when they could expect all assistance to end,â McKenzie said.
He was referring to a February 29, 2020, agreement that the Trump
administration signed with the Taliban in Doha, Qatar, in which the US
promised to fully withdraw its troops by May 2021 and the Taliban
committed to several conditions, including stopping attacks on US and
coalition forces.'
