Since the Biden administration withdrew troops from Afghanistan in August 2021, our nation has been searching for answers. Americans are still asking how it came to pass that, after expending 20 years of blood and treasure on the conflict, we abandoned the country to the Taliban.

Those with perhaps the greatest stake in determining what went wrong in Afghanistan are the veterans who served there.
