   When the Taliban finally entered Kabul on Aug. 15, 2021, they took the   
   Afghan capital without a fight. Even with many thousands of U.S.   
   citizens and Afghan partners still in the country, the Biden   
   administration stuck to its new, self-imposed Aug. 31 deadline for   
   completing the withdrawal. The result was utter chaos: Thousands of U.S.   
   service members were suddenly deployed to Kabul’s international airport   
   to assist the evacuation effort and contend with masses of ordinary   
   Afghans desperate to escape Taliban rule.   
      
   Our service members rose to the occasion, as they always do, and helped   
   evacuate around 124,000 people under incredibly difficult circumstances.   
   But the Islamic State still found a way to exploit the havoc, killing 13   
   U.S. service members near an airport gate on Aug. 26, 2021. Nearly one   
   year later, the Biden administration has failed to hold the perpetrators   
   accountable because the withdrawal has severely diminished U.S.   
   counterterrorism capabilities in Afghanistan.
