Joey Amor, whose wife, Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor, was among six American soldiers killed in the March 1 attack, demanded accountability during a CBS News town hall, prompting Vance to acknowledge that he was hearing about the alleged failures for the first time.
“I am damn proud of my wife and the five soldiers that stood next to her and died alongside her,” Amor said. “They raised their right hand, and they gave an oath. They understood what they were doing. They understood the sacrifice that they were potentially giving.”
Two days after the deadly attack, CBS News cited U.S. military sources in a report on concerns that the base wasn’t properly fortified and didn’t have the firepower to shoot down incoming drones.
“When you talk about failures that we were implicated in — the administration, the Department of War, whoever you want to say was implicated in — I want to know about that stuff,” Vance said.
“I want to understand what we can do better and what those soldiers are seeing. Because part of the problem with this job — this job’s an amazing honor — but you live in a bit of a bubble, and sometimes information doesn’t filter up to me. This is an opportunity for it to filter right directly to me, and I promise you I will take every single failure extremely seriously and will work on it,” Vance continued.
“I promise you that one of the ways that I’m going to show gratitude to your wife is by taking this seriously and trying to figure out what exactly happened and what exactly we can do better.”

War
Part of the problem with this job — this job’s an amazing honor — but you live in a bit of a bubble, and sometimes information doesn’t filter up to me. - JD Vance
Sent his wife off to war. A man and a society that does that is truly sick.
She had two kids. Now they don’t have a mother because America sends mommies to war while dad anxiously waits at home. Sick sick sick…
In this age of warfare, the rear echelons are fading away.
War doesn’t care
Don't tarnish your wife's legacy with this. Look how proud she was in that photo of her in her uniform.
