President Joe Biden has largely ignored the first anniversary of his deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan, much to the chagrin of his foreign policy critics, veterans of the 20-year war, and family and friends of service members who died in the conflict.

The White House has been adamant that Biden’s actions demonstrate his commitment to the U.S. military and the country’s national security interests. But the president is under pressure to do more to help Afghan allies and ensure lessons are learned from the withdrawal after he marked the anniversary without a single public event.
