Not only was he denied the ability to save hundreds of lives, he was denied the ability to protect and defend himself.
We honor our 13 fallen servicemembers who perished in #Kabul, #Afghanistan on August 26, 2021.
The suicide bomber terror attack (near the gates of the Hamid Karzai International Airport) killed 11 #Marines, one #Navy sailor and one #Army soldier.

They sacrificed them to pretend Biden was doing the right thing, that Biden was doing a good job.

Sgt. Tyler Vargus-Andrews is a true hero and I thank him for his service. My prayers are with him & his family. I can see & hear the pain in his voice when speaking about his fallen fellow soldiers and the failed response from commanders. ❤️🙏❤️
