Gold Star Families Demand Accountability from Biden Administration for Afghanistan Deaths

Gold Star families of the 13 U.S. service members killed in the Kabul suicide attack during the Afghanistan withdrawal are demanding accountability and closure from the Biden administration. During a public forum organized by Rep. Darrell Issa, the families criticized President Biden and his military leadership as "incompetent, cowards, evil." They expressed their anger and frustration, calling for resignations and justice. The families also condemned the administration's labeling of the withdrawal as a "success," stating that it was a disrespect to the fallen soldiers. The families highlighted the preventable nature of the deaths and the lack of recognition for the survivors. A scathing State Department report on the Afghanistan withdrawal failures was released, blaming both the Trump and Biden administrations for insufficient planning and consideration of worst-case scenarios.
