It's my understanding there wasn't enough military left on the ground to facilitate an orderly withdrawal. trump removed all the military except for about 2500 and Biden wasn't going to commit any more of our people. Biden followed through with the plan that had been set in motion months before by the trump administration. Keep in mind, the trump administration would only deal with the Taliban and went so far as to invite them to Camp David on or about the anniversary of 9/11. That administration didn't make these arrangements with the Afghan government, they dealt directly with the Taliban.
That's about all I can recall without going back and reading to refresh my memory.
