Was this "heroic"? I don't know, but they certainly did their jobs, and for that we should be thankful.
Here are some thoughts on what remains from Pakistani scholar Zamir Awan:
The US, along with its 46 Allies and additional 11 nationals supporting the war on terror, 150,000 well-trained, well-equipped, most sophisticated and lethal weapons, hi-tech and advanced military techniques, two trillion dollars, and two decades, altogether destroyed Afghanistan. The explosives [dropped] in Afghanistan is much more than the compiled explosive used in World war I & II, yet not satisfied, and before leaving damaged all air crafts, runways, airport security systems, etc. The US has seized the Afghan Bank’s assets, and pressurizing the Taliban through IMF, World Bank, Paris Club, and other International Institutions, and stopping other countries to help the Taliban.
War-torn Afghanistan, one of the poorest nations on earth, total damaged infrastructure, no agriculture, no industry, no electricity, severe shortage of food, and medicines, no hospitals, no schools, yet, the US is not satisfied and [is] coercing Taliban.

We also destroyed Vietnam and were stingy with reconstruction funding. But they managed to survive. Afghanistan probably will, too, and it may be the Chinese who bring them back from the dead.
Why do we keep doing this? People don't want what we have to offer, and the long lines of refugees really don't prove otherwise.
