Outside of the families of servicemembers who died from the Afghan suicide bomb...do many, Republicans or otherwise, really care how the exit went? There certainly hasn't been much clamor to reengage there. The optics were bad, which can/was capitalized on.
I'd posit that most Republicans also don't give a flying fig about "inner city test scores." Their main concern is to get their white kids out of those integrated schools. Then they can go to shit. In fact, I'm sure they want them to go to shit. Less competition, and they can continue to say "look how these minorities are failing!" (It's really not just inner city, either. It's more just poor areas. I'm going to guess scores in poor rural Alabama aren't exactly stellar, either. I'm sure getting rid of the Dept. of Ed and lowering state taxes, while giving vouchers to white kids to go to not those schools is the solution to these problems though.)
Curious what these "foreign policy failures" are. Strenghtening NATO? Backing Ukraine against Russia? Improving relations with countries like Vietnam, strengthening Indo-Pacific ties?
