The Challenge: President Biden’s conduct following the deaths of US troopers within the 2021 Kabul airport assault.

The Put up’s editorial “Biden’s Snub of Gold Star Households” (Aug. 9) was proper on track.

The Biden administration’s therapy of Gold Star households who misplaced their little children in Afghanistan is heartless.

There’s no excuse for these households to be so mistreated by President Biden. I can’t think about Biden being re-elected to the presidency.

Accountability for the chaos that ensued throughout the USA withdrawal from Afghanistan lies solely on the ft of the Biden administration.

The White Home persistently ignored the recommendation of its army commanders to conduct the evacuation from Bagram Air Subject, which had been managed by the USA. As a substitute they ceded a big of a part of the operation to the Taliban, which instantly resulted within the loss of life of US troopers and civilians.

The White Home’s wanton disregard for the households of the lifeless within the aftermath and its fixed try and shift blame for the debacle is unconscionable.

Biden’s subhuman response to the Gold Star households — whose loss was brought on by the stubbornness and stupidity of Biden’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan — has been unsurprisingly ignored by most media shops.

He checked his watch because the flag-draped coffins had been returned and misrepresented his son’s loss of life to the face of one of many grief-stricken.

In different phrases, he has to mislead fake that he’s empathetic. Biden’s new canine is biting the improper folks.

Is Biden so out-of-touch with the households of US service members that he wants to check their loss along with his?

Joe simply can not present the much-needed empathy that these households deserve. He has to check their loss with him shedding his son Beau six years from most cancers after coming back from Iraq.

Joe fails miserably at being a human being. He doesn’t care, has zero coronary heart and actually shouldn’t be involved with anybody. He’s a narcissist.
