ESCONDIDO, Calif. — The families of some of the 13 servicemembers who were killed in a deadly blast at the Kabul Airport in 2021 are seeking answers.
Appearing alongside the families is senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Congressman Darrell Issa (CA-48).
"For almost two years, the Gold Star Families of the fallen in Afghanistan have waited for answers and accountability for the loss of their loved ones - and they have waited long enough," said Rep. Issa. "At every turn, they've been shut out and ignored by the Biden Administration that prefers to turn the page on its disaster. That stops now.
It's time that the public hears the stories of these heroes and learns of negligence and breakdown of leadership that led to the loss of life that day two years ago."

Each parent has thanked U.S. Congressman Darell Issa (R-CA-48) for the opportunity to share their grief and frustration.
That last women was fantastic.
To bad Issa is in charge- this won’t go anywhere
One woman cautioned listeners not to be distracted by recent news stories like the space aliens. Although, she said, she would like to see the aliens take away some people...”Biden, Blinken, Milley...”
The “mostly peaceful” withdrawal?
the commie media doesn’t care..they are too invested in protecting the demented child molesting jackass in the White House..when those 13 service members were murdered, the commie media’s first reaction was how they hoped this would not hurt Biden
The answer is the USA is the evil empire, and no one in power cares about the people who serve them.
That last woman said the names of those who lied and made the wrong decisions are protected- yet if a young Marine pulled out his rifle to protect someone and it was deemed he was wrong in doing so, his name would be plastered all over he place and the media would be camped outside his families home.
Truer words have never been spoken.
I seem to recall Biden’s chief concern was CHECKING HIS WATCH as their loved ones were coming home. FJB and his ENTIRE administration of Perverts, Pedophiles, and Sexual Deviants.
To the Gold Star Families, I’m sincerely sorry for your loss. That said, I believe you will NEVER receive the satisfaction you so rightfully deserve from Biden and Company.
Issa said the families were told their soldiers died from a suicide bomber. Autopsies found bullets.
Too many lies.
She had a few choice words about that.
Each of the parents was amazing. Their anger and frustration with the Biden administration’s failures are fresh as the day their soldier’s bodies arrived home.
Yeah, Beau the war hero.
And the whole kkkommiecrat party.
Then, there’s the list of names, the women and girls, the starvation of those we abandoned
I have no confidence that today's event will rate mention by any of the alphabet news stories. Seems they need to lead with the weather these days, and tell us what DJT typed into his social media account.
If their last name was Sheehan the media would fawn over them.
They wont utter one word about it, they dropped the story as soon as it happened because it made their beloved Biden look bad..in fact that is exactly what they said when it happened “How will this affect Biden” that was their #1 priority
So the hearing was in the House, run by Republicans. Meaning that democrats did not want the parents of the dead to tell their story.
A story that was totally suppressed by the media since it happened.
democrats are scum.
