Biden pays respects to 13 U.S. troops killed in Afghanistan

DOVER AIR FORCE BASE, Del. — In hushed reverence, President Joe Biden stood witness with grieving families Sunday under a gray sky as, one by one, the remains of 13 U.S. troops killed in the Kabul suicide bombing were removed with solemnity from a military aircraft that brought them home.

The dead ranged in age from 20 to 31, and came from California and Massachusetts and states in between. Five were just 20 — born not long before the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, that spurred the United States to invade Afghanistan in order to topple al-Qaida and dismantle their Taliban hosts who ruled the country.

“The 13 service members that we lost were heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in service of our highest American ideals and while saving the lives of others,” Biden said in a statement Saturday. “Their bravery and selflessness has enabled more than 117,000 people at risk to reach safety thus far.”

Biden’s three most recent predecessors as presidents all attended such dignified transfers. It was Biden’s first time taking part in the ritual as president, but he has been here before.

The Democrats voted for this disaster. The blood is on their hands.

And then he checked his watch…

Biden was breathing today... Seriously, will u report his every movement to cover up other movements? 🤔

Biden would not be invited if that was my son who died under his command.

The weak president and his weak administration must go.

Why is he checking his watch? What is it to see how much longer he has to be there. If he cares about the US Military personal (he killed with his incompetence) he would at least pay attention until it was over.

Actually he fell asleep but umm yeah dogecoin to the moon!

Market watch is Trash.

Very decent human being.

He's sleeping.

And he appeared to check his watch, as he was late for his afternoon nap

13 ? that will bring a lot of misfortune to USA. You need one more victim to make it 14 at least.

Chump would have called them 'losers and suckers'

“Biden pays respect to the 13 U.S. troops that were killed directly from the result of his incompetence”. There fixed the headline for you

Then promptly checked his watch cause it was past nappy time.

Biden’s histrionics are too much. A solemnly bowed head would have sufficed.

It is bs

Idiot is sleeping.. Not praying

🤔

Clearly you are not bias at all lol

Still trying to sell Biden as a good president, huh? This must be why I’m seeing all the posts about how great he is…

Did he shut his eyes or fall asleep?

And check his watch

Or sleeping again.
