With a bang. And a whimper. The last American soldier left the country. President Joe Biden issued a flimsy written statement Monday. Secretary of State Antony Blinken delivered a dispiriting address . America can no longer with a straight face say we leave no one behind. And the people I&#8217;ve spoken with in Indiana are seething, embarrassed, ashamed. Thirteen American servicemen and women, including a&nbsp;Marine from my home state of Indiana , are dead on account of this disastrous &#8220;retrograde&#8221; from Afghanistan. Many more American citizens &#8211; more than 100 by Secretary Blinken&#8217;s rosy estimate &#8211; are still awaiting evacuation .&nbsp;This happened despite the president&#8217;s promise Aug. 20 that &#8221; we will get you home .&#8221; And an&nbsp;undeclared number of Afghan nationals who helped Americans over the past 20&nbsp;years face an uncertain future. The self-proclaimed &#8220;most qualified person in the country&#8221; to be president has botched his first major foreign policy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>America can no longer with a straight face say we leave no one behind.
