Congress honors 13 troops killed during Kabul withdrawal as politics swirl around who is to blame - The Boston Globe

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : Biden's April 2021 announcement that he would proceed with the withdrawal set in motion by Trump was the second-biggest factor, the watchdog said.
35% : Regardless, Trump has thrust the withdrawal, with the backing from some of the families of the Americans killed, into the center of his campaign.
13% : While Trump and Republicans have sought to link Harris to the withdrawal as a campaign issue, and Harris has said she was the last person in the room when Biden made his decision, neither watchdog reviews nor the 18-month investigation by House Republicans have identified any instance where the vice president had a significant impact on decision-making.
3% : Johnson scheduled the ceremony just hours before the first debate between Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump.House Republicans also released a scathing investigation on Sunday into the withdrawal that cast blame on Biden's administration and minimized the role of Trump, who had signed the withdrawal deal with the Taliban.
