Joe Biden allegedly kept the families of Marines killed during the Afghanistan withdrawal waiting for three hours while he rested on Air Force One before an honor ceremony. Family members expressed their frustration about this incident and criticized Biden's handling of the overall withdrawal, citing concerns about his health and decision-making abilities. This criticism includes claims that Biden was missing during crucial planning for the withdrawal which resulted in a chaotic evacuation and the death of 13 servicemembers on August 26, 2021, due to a suicide bombing.
During the transfer ceremony, Biden was seen checking his watch, which angered the families in attendance. The White House denied the allegations about Biden napping, stating he honors the sacrifices made by the servicemembers. Family members argue that the blame for the situation rests squarely on Biden, who they feel was not fit for office and whose inaction and lack of communication contributed to the chaos surrounding the withdrawal.
One of the families, Roice McCollum, shared her experience of waiting for Biden and described the situation as being poorly handled, asserting that his health condition had been concealed. She further expressed frustration over the lack of accountability from the government regarding the decisions made during the withdrawal. Darin Hoover, father of one of the deceased Marines, echoed similar sentiments, claiming the administration’s decisions were treacherous.
Concerns about Biden's health and ability to lead have been raised by multiple family members and lawmakers, pointing to the need for transparency about his fitness for office as well as accountability for the apparent failures during the evacuation from Afghanistan. Former officials have indicated that Biden's decision-making team kept him insulated from outside advice, leading to further complications during a time of crisis.
The frustration from the families also extends to the media, whom they believe have downplayed the seriousness of the situation and the implications of the administration's decisions regarding military withdrawal. The demand for answers persists as families seek to understand who was responsible for planning the withdrawal and why they were misled about the situation in the region.
Overall, the families are calling for a thorough investigation into the chaos surrounding the Afghan withdrawal and accountability for those involved in the decisions that led to the loss of their loved ones.
