After the not-so dignified transfer ceremony of fallen Americans, one gold star mother expressed sentiments about Joe Biden that echo in every community: “America Hates You!!”
The fake news media may try to spin the unnecessary death of Shana Chappell’s heroic U.S. Marine son and 12 others at the gates of the Kabul airport. And the dishonest media may try to minimize the worst military debacle in the country’s history with catch-phrases and excuses. But the raw facts are that Americans will never forget that Joe Biden deliberately put our sons and daughters in harm’s way, so he could get a photo-op completing a 20-year withdrawal on the 9/11 anniversary. Americans should never forgive this loathsome political opportunist for doing the unthinkable and leaving American citizens at the mercy of the Taliban behind enemy lines.
“(Y)ou tried to interrupt me and give me your own sob story and I had to tell you ‘that this isn’t about you so don’t make it about you!!!’ U then rolled your f***ing eyes in your head like you were annoyed with me, and I let you know that the only reason I was talking to you was out of respect for my son,” Chappell reportedly posted on social media. “U turned to walk away, and I let you know my son’s blood was on your hands, and you threw your hand up behind you as you walked away from me like you were saying ‘ok whatever!!!’”
The ceremony has historically been dubbed the “dignified” transfer and past presidents declined to allow media coverage. George W. Bush famously waited until the dead of the night to allow such transfers to attract the least amount of attention possible. Not Joe Biden’s handlers. In an effort to produce footage of him appearing “presidential,” the White House allowed a full complement of reporters and live cameras. That move blew up in their face when Biden was repeatedly caught looking impatient that the event was taking up his time. The disgraced Democrat checked his watch five times as if he had someplace better to be.
Chappell does not stand alone in her disdain for Joe Biden. Other parents and loved ones of the 13 soldiers who died during the desperate final days in Afghanistan also hold him in contempt.
“Initially, I wasn’t going to meet with him. But then I felt I owed it to my son to at least have some words with him about how I felt – and it didn’t go well,” Gold Star father Mark Schmitz reportedly said. “He talked a bit more about his own son than he did my son, and that didn’t sit well with me.”
Joe Biden’s son Beau served a one-year deployment in Iraq as a military lawyer during 2008-2009. He died in 2015 at the age of 46 in civilian life of brain cancer, not during combat or the service to his country. Joe Biden repeatedly manipulates his son’s service for political cover when boxed into a corner. He effectively dishonors his own child for political gain.
“In all of our history, in all of the time that we have been fighting, where did you leave these men and women but at one airport, one location, one gate to funnel thousands through? And who did you trust? You trusted our enemy to allow who would come through,” Gold Star mother Paula Knauss reportedly said. “It should never have happened the way it did. Who is accountable for this? Who will stand up and say that they will be accountable for the death of 13 young men and women?”
My husband and I are disgusted with the Biden administration. Didn’t vote for him but accepted the outcome begrudgingly. However now we curse his name every evening. Let’s hope our nation survives to the end of this 4 year term.
I agree with you Cheryl !
yeah right……..then comes harris and pelosi as v.p. what a terrible mess our country is going throufg………….
To all the gold star families, my prayers are with you GOD BLESS. To the biden administration you are a bunch of lying ,backstabbing bastards.
Our hearts are with you all. Love and prayers go out to each and every family. You are right , this President isn’t worth the salt to make his bread. This
Coward has got to go.
To the parents of all 13 hero’s that lost their lives because of Biden’s STUPIDITY : We cannot take away your pain, nor do we want to convey that we know your pain, but the TRUE AMERICANS want you to know that we will always HONOR your sons and daughters, and that we love and pray for you all, that GOD will take away your pain and suffering and replace it with beautiful memories until you once again see your loved ones in Heaven.
I am a retired Air Force pilot who flew and fought for the USA for 26 years. The men and women who fought along with my comrades-in-arms always had the highest of respect for those who had been wounded or those who had been killed in action. I personally saw many young men maybe not even 20 years old, but had been tasked to assist in preparing the dead troops for movement back to the USA. Some simply could not take it and literally begged to be reassigned to a combat unit. It was a ghastly sight to see some of the deceased troops brought to the mortuary at Tan Son Nhut Air Base, South Vietnam. Some of the deceased had been left in fields or jungles for weeks, and they had been partially decomposed. It was extremely disturbing to see a mass of bones and some remains of what was once a healthy young human being pulled out of a canvas body bag only to be pieced together, flushed out with water, and then placed into an aluminum transfer case for a long, silent flight back to the USA. In 1967, I was asked to first escort Senator Ted Kennedy around the huge air base and then take him to a “combat area” – Vung Tau. On our tour of the base, which was about a half hour before he was scheduled to eat lunch, I called my friend who was an Army lieutenant colonel who was in charge of the large mortuary located at Tan Son Nhut, and arranged for Senator Kennedy to see and be briefed on the mortuary’s duties. The senator was anxious to see how the mortuary prepared the deceased for their trip “back home.” There were eight large marble slabs on which the deceased were taken from body bags and prepared for movement. There were remains of eight military troops – mostly soldiers – on the slabs. Three of the deceased troops were thoroughly infested with maggots. The senator seemed to be full of energy when we entered the mortuary, but he rapidly became sick at his stomach and threw up all over the floor. We left the mortuary and headed for a vehicle that was waiting for us. We had to walk over a small drainage ditch that allowed the liquid sewage to flow from the mortuary. Seeing the blood and some components of the deceased flowing down the drainage ditch once again enabled Senator Kennedy to eliminate his breakfast and probably his supper the night before. He slowly boarded the Australian C-123 thaqt took us to Vung Tau and back. There was no combat activity when I took the senator to Vung Tau – it was like a resort area for a number of US military personnel. The only danger Senator Kennedy may have seen or felt was the Australian C-123 that to us to and from Vung Tau. The Aussie pilot literally flew about five feet over thousands of trees on our way back to Tan Son Nhut Air Base, a few times clipping the tops off of tall trees. Senator Kennedy, like a number of other “Patriotic Democrats” consistently criticized our military forces in Southeast Asia before he “toured Tan Son Nhut Air Base,” but was considerably quieter when he returned to the USA. He saw what was happening to our men in Southeast Asia on a daily basis, but did not one damned thing to help bring the enemy troops to their knees. The politicians in Washington knew we could have ended the war within a month or two if they had allowed our forces to destroy the rail yards and seaports used by the enemy to bring in munitions, weapons, and suplies of combat nature. But, they did not have the balls to allow our forces to use our military might. The Vietnam war was a defeat for the USA. Yes, we won the battles, but we lost the war. Why? Bungling politicians at the highest level.
Thank you Mr. Altee for your service and respect for those that have the ultimate sacrifice. And thank you for speaking the truth about our politically run and controlled military. What a shame and shown again by what happened in Afghanistan. God bless you.
Mr. Altee, thank you for your service to our nation and your respect for those lost in service to our nation. And thank you for posting the truth concerning the nature of political control of our military as was again demonstrated in the tragedy in Afghanistan. Thank you sir.
