How? Be specific.
Include how Biden could have overruled Trump on the lift restrictions
imposed on the DoD in 2017-20 which is why tons of equipment were left.

But soldiers get killed during peacetime too. In fact, there's been
just as many US soldiers who've died just since Trump took office in
January (13) than those who died in the Afghanistan evacuation:
4 - Lithuania
1 - Ft Jackson
1 - Ft Campbell
1 - Ft McCoy
1 - Ft Bragg
2 - Fort Stewart
3 - DC Blackhawk
For Afghanistan, success/failure is gauged by the mission vs cost: in
terms of number rescued per US KIA loss, it was the most successful
evacuation from a hot combat zone that the USA has ever performed.
