So, Biden did away with numerous policies President Trump implemented. Why do many of you think he did what he did because it was the previous administration proposed plan.

Yep, but at least he admits that he "owns it".
BTW, Trump set a deadline for us to move out by May 1st of this year, obviously three months earlier than now, but his administration also hadn't started the vetting process that under normal circumstances takes about 5 years.
Don't know - perhaps for votes?

Who is the "we" in this question? Because I would argue that the answer will look very, very differently depending on who is being adressed with that question.
"We" as in "We The People."

It's really easy to make big-*** assertions when you know there is no way to support them.
But, are you suggesting that Trump disregarded the recommendations by the joint chiefs when he signed a withdrawal agreement with the Taliban with no input from the Afghan government?

Failure in Afghanistan???
Afghanistan has been, and continues to be, a major success for companies like Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and Boeing. What we see on the news about Afghanistan is nothing more than manufacturing consent as to why the US needs to remain there. And it's working. 20 years later people are convinced we need to remain in this forever war. In the eyes of our government and the military industrial complex, that is a success.

Uh huh.
Why would you post something that is so easy to refute? If you had done any research, you wouldn't have embarrassed yourself.

In the wake of the Taliban’s recent capture of Kabul, Afghanistan’s capital, it looks like the Republican Party is quietly scrubbing traces of the former president’s deals with the militant Islamist group.
The GOP has pulled a webpage praising Donald Trump over his administration’s “historic peace agreement with the Taliban.” The page, which has been archived here, was first instated in the midst of last year’s presidential election.
“Trump has continued to take the lead in peace talks as he signed a historic peace agreement with the Taliban in Afghanistan, which would end America’s longest war,” the now-deleted page read. It also noted that while the now ex-president has “championed peace,” Joe Biden had pushed “endless wars.” Elsewhere on the page, the GOP noted that Trump had “taken action to defeat ISIS and eliminate dangerous leaders.”
It’s worth noting here that Abdul Ghani Baradar, who co-founded the Taliban in Afghanistan and went on to become the organization’s top-ranking political chief, was released from Pakistani jail at the U.S.’s request while Trump was in office.
