It was 7 months after Biden/Harris took office.
Afghanistan was put on Biden's shoulders on Inauguration Day. He was not bound by Trump's negotiations or planning.
You don't have to be a military veteran to understand this.
I was handed my second Chaparral platoon about 4 months afer arriving in Germany. That same day, we were picked for a tac evaluation. When we flunked, it was due to my inexperience. It didn't matter I had 3 squad leaders that were ROAD, it was all on me, as it should have been.
Turned out to be one of best learning experiences I ever had. It lit a fire under me, and I also learned that taking personal responsibility is a simpler way to live one's life.
A few months later, my other platoon was selected for evaluation. We passed with flying colors: the evaluator was incredulous, "that can't be the same platoon leader from a few months back."
