Live Updates: Joe Biden is en route to receive the bodies of Kabul victims
SKY News ^ | August 29, 2021

Posted on 08/29/2021 5:20:57 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

He and Jill Biden will shortly arrive at the Dover Air Force Base in Delaware to attend the "dignified transfer" of 13 military personnel killed in a terror attack at Kabul airport.

This is a military ritual of receiving the remains of fallen troops killed in foreign combat.

The dead ranged in age from 20 to 31.

"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," President Biden said in a statement Saturday.

"Their bravery and selflessness has enabled more than 117,000 people at risk to reach safety thus far."

Eleven of the 13 Americans killed were Marines. One was a Navy sailor and one an Army soldier.

Will Joe Talibiden have the arrogance to attend Sept-11 ceremonies?

—”last memory of government service to be walking out of the White House after being voted incompetent.”

... a family member slapped him so hard his fake teeth flew across the room...

It is impossible to convey the pain the families are suffering.

The Marine Moms have their own network always watching their flock.
When it goes hot, they know, for many reasons nothing is to be public until all the families are notified.

The seriously injured can call home as soon as able and are asked not to give names.

The moms know all the names and positions...

When our USMC Infantry son’s unit was hit in Anbar, the phones sounded an alarm.
You go numb.

We knew then it was our son’s platoon...

After the notification officer left, they will stay as long as you prefer... The mother ran to the yard and screamed until she could not.

The mother, a friend of my wife called here and my wife was screaming...

A sniper hit, our son was with him.

“some of the families”?

I would expect ALL of the families did NOT want Joe TaliBiden at Dover.

Beau had to die so Hunter could bag his spouse.

I suspect that Beau’s service record was as phony as Hunter’s commission

Like Al Capone showing up for the funerals of those slain in the St Valentine’s massacre. If Biden wanted to show respect he would be on TV announcing his resignation and the sacking of all his military advisors

Biden should have sent Trump. Trump was sincere. Biden comes across as a used car salesman - “Here’s the deal”. Biden will not be welcome. Wonder if Jill will be at his side? Harris?

Yet he got a Bronze Star. How much fiction is in that citation. Note too that his Wikipedia bio is squeaky clean. No mention of the coke, the bizarre traffic stop ...

I’m unaware and can’t answer that intelligently.

I forgot to include; the unit was later able to get the sniper.

It is not a coincidence that as Biden meets with parents of our dead serviceman that a US rocket attack occurred. When parents talk with the media I’m willing to bet that Biden told them as I speak we are attacking those who killed your sons and daughters.

Because he wasn’t there when they arrived, no one from the administration was. He had the service delayed so he could have a photo op, on his schedule, and that was more important to Biden than being there when they arrived.
