I had just turned 18.

The military did NOT respect Trump, and he didn't respect them.

Trump is the one who set the deadline with the Taliban. Biden just honored it. Though it is one of the few things Trump did that I didn't vehemently disagree with. I didn't like setting a deadline, per se, but we needed to leave. And he got the ball rolling. There wasn't really any clean way to do it. Given the rapidity that the Afghan forces folded, they were never going to be ready. I would have preferred getting our Afghan helpers out in a more orderly fashion, and more completely. That would involve bringing them to the US, of course. Which I'm OK with, since they were helping us. But it's more migrants...

Biden is going to be in Alaska, and there will be a ceremony of some sort. What of it?
