President Joe Biden on Friday marked the one-year anniversary of the Afghanistan terrorist attack that killed 13 U.S. servicemembers, vowing to “continue to hunt down terrorists who seek to harm the United States” even without an American military presence in country anymore.
But Republican lawmakers said the somber anniversary should serve as a call for more accountability for mistakes made in the 2021 drawdown, which ultimately led to the troops’ deaths.
