You are confusing that responsibility with President Obama & VP Biden. It was under the Obama administration we began withdrawing troops from Afghanistan and allowed ISIS to aggressively expand. Trump fixed the problem with ISIS by sending our military to kill them, and it was all Biden that completely fucked up the withdrawal.

Trump got us out of deals that Obama got us into... Climate Accords, Iran Nuclear Program, etc... because he didn't care about following through with the commitments as he felt they were bad for America.
Biden got us back into them.
So each President is responsible for their own actions. No one was holding a gun to Biden's head to force any withdrawal.. ESPECIALLY in the haphazard manner in which he did it. "We will be out of there by 9-11!" was literally the dumbest deadline ever.. and that was Biden's.
Biden owns the withdrawal from Afghanistan and the 13 service members deaths are on him.. as well as giving the country back to the Taliban.

As part of those negotiations with Taliban, they were to uphold certain conditions on their end. Biden ignored those conditions. Trump was not president so I suppose we can’t be certain, but he publicly said on several occasions that he would have delayed and/or ceased the withdrawal as they did not uphold their end of the bargain. This also doesn’t address how Biden withdrew our forces before evacuating American citizens & civilian assets, abandoned a functioning air base under military pressure, has allowed Al-Qaeda to openly operate back in this territory, allowed the deaths of 13 servicemen go unpunished, handed over to the Taliban ungodly sums of weapons & military equipment, and completely embarrassed our country on the world stage.
Stop simping.
