'Biden turned his back on my son': Father of Marine killed in Kabul ISIS suicide bomb BLAMES President for deaths of 13 US troops and 170 others. Pentagon warns President that ANOTHER attack is likely

The father of one of the Marines killed in the bomb attack on Kabul airport yesterday is blaming Biden for it, saying he turned his back on the troops on the ground with his chaotic evacuation attempt that made them sitting ducks for ISIS-K.

Thirteen US troops were killed along with 170 Afghans at the airport on Thursday when a single suicide bomber detonated his vest. The first four have been named; Navy medic Max Soviak and Marines Rylee McCollum, David Lee Espinoza and Kareem Nikoui.

Kareem's outraged father Steve told The Daily Beast on Friday: 'They sent my son over there as a paper pusher and then had the Taliban outside providing security. I blame my own military leaders… Biden turned his back on him. That’s it.'

Soviak's sister Marianne said in an Instagram post that her brother was there to 'help people'.

'My beautiful, intelligent, beat-to-the-sound of his own drum, annoying, charming baby brother was killed yesterday helping to save lives. He was a f****** medic. he was a fucking medic. There to help people and now he is gone and my family will never be the same.'

Soviak, believed to be in his early 20s, was named by his high school in Edison, New Jersey. McCollum was named by his high school in Wyoming while Espinoza, 20, was named by the local police department in Laredo, Texas., where he was born. McCollum was expecting his first child with his wife. He was deployed to Afghanistan in April. Nikoui's father confirmed his death to The Daily Beast.

'They sent my son over there as a paper pusher and then had the Taliban outside providing security. I blame my own military leaders… Biden turned his back on him. That’s it.'

Biden has lost all his credibility. Every time he opens his mouth, people laugh. The best thing that could happen is if he just becomes a lame-duck president for the next 3 1/2 years.

That's assuming Biden makes the trip to Dover (even though it's only about an hour south of his Delaware home.)

Well they have no choice but blame Biden because he is responsible for their deaths. Further Biden’s going to wrap this up as quickly now as possible because he knows another attack his administration couldn’t possibly handle politically.

“A nation that does not honor it’s warriors will be defeated by one that does”

All those who helped steal this election, helped cover it up, or was an anti-Trumper are also to blame.

Perhaps Dad should have told his son about the dangers of signing up to work for corrupt @ssholes who didn’t give a sh!t about him.

Given his age, there's a good chance he enlisted in Trump's first term, confident he would win a second.

UK News source. Hopefully he will get a voice in the U.S. MSM, but I doubt it.

Those “babies” were all old enough to know better. After what we’ve seen from the bucket full of @ssholes who have been running this country for years, what exactly did they think they were signing up for?
