Caitlin is dead on target, including her put-down of the MSM who are quite content to parrot DC propaganda or suffer eternal harassment from officials. Afghanistan repeats the same mistakes we made in Vietnam which derailed the lives and careers of draftees like me and many of my peers just as it has volunteer service members of today. Google Danny Sjursen to learn more. Biden is trying so hard to avoid a photo similar to the embassy evacuation of Saigon. Except for Afghani's who we paid well to work for us, they generally hate westerners. Read some history books about the British occupation or the Russians.
The Afghan military was a scam to get free stuff from the USA - pay, clothing, guns, vehicles. That is what motivated the South Vietnamese military too. They were fine with returning to civilian life. It was mostly a paper military and I am sure our people on the ground there know it to be true just as my generation knew it in the early 70s. It would not surprise me to learn that Biden was made aware of all that but realized there was no graceful exit - there never is.
