Staff ReportsBiden’s ability to sleep through national tragedy has hit a new low, as reported by family members of U.S. Marines who met their untimely end during the chaotic exit from Afghanistan. It’s been revealed that grieving families waited for hours for their fallen heroes to be returned, all while President Biden took a leisurely nap on Air Force One. If napping in a time of mourning were an Olympic event, Biden would certainly have grabbed the gold.
On August 26, 2021, the world witnessed the fallout of a poorly executed withdrawal; 13 U.S. service members and over 170 Afghans lost their lives to a suicide bomber at Kabul International Airport. Things were going so smoothly that one could almost hear the crickets chirping. The situation became even more absurd as families awaited the dignified transfer ceremony at Dover Air Force Base, only to find out that Biden had decided that their grief could wait while he caught up on his beauty sleep. Apparently, nap time was more vital than honoring the sacrifices of brave men and women.
Roice McCollum, whose brother Rylee was among the deceased Marines, shared that it was a staggering three-hour delay before the families were able to receive their loved ones’ caskets. Biden’s absence was eventually attributed to him snoozing on the tarmac, a comforting thought for those mourning their lost sons and daughters. Meanwhile, the emotional turmoil left grieving families to stew in their anguish, racking up extra hours in a holding area while one of the most powerful men in the world laid blissfully unaware above them.
REPORT: Biden Napped, Forced Gold Star Families To Wait Hours After Afghanistan Bombing

Further confirmation of this appalling behavior came from other Gold Star family members, who shared their frustrations about waiting on the “doddering old fool.” One has to wonder about the owner of an office with such poor time management skills, but Biden was clearly more interested in snoozing than in showing any semblance of respect. A military officer delivered the news to these heartbroken individuals that the Commander-in-Chief was busy dreaming rather than honoring the lives lost.
Biden’s track record regarding the Afghanistan withdrawal has underwhelmed many, making it no surprise that Gold Star families are feeling slighted by his perceived disrespect. The criticism has poured in, especially following a debate earlier this year where he cavalierly insisted that no U.S. soldiers had died during his presidency. The arithmetic is simple enough for even a child to understand, especially given the 13 service members who paid the price of poorly conceived military strategy under his command. For a leader who claims to think of these fallen heroes every day, it appears he might need a refresher course in basic respect and accountability; after all, he orchestrated this debacle, and now he has blood on his hands.
