Pete Hegseth spoke the truth when he said there has never been real accountability for Joe Biden’s disastrous Afghanistan exit. Three years later, American families still demand answers about the worst foreign policy failure in decades. The Biden administration has dodged responsibility while our brave soldiers paid the ultimate price.
Congress has tried to get answers, but Democrats have blocked every effort. Republicans introduced the Afghanistan Accountability Act to investigate what went wrong. The White House keeps hiding behind excuses and pointing fingers at Trump. Meanwhile, the families of our fallen heroes still wait for justice.
Thirteen American service members died at Abbey Gate in Kabul because of Biden’s reckless decisions. These brave men and women were killed by terrorists while trying to save lives during the chaotic evacuation. Their deaths were completely preventable if Biden had listened to his own military advisors. Instead, he ignored every warning and pushed ahead with his political timeline.
Military leaders and intelligence experts told Biden the withdrawal plan was dangerous. State Department employees sent urgent cables warning about the deteriorating situation. The Biden team even banned workers from using the word evacuation until it was too late. They put politics before the safety of Americans and our Afghan allies.
President Trump recently signed the Abbey Gate proclamation to honor our fallen heroes. This shows the difference between real leadership and Biden’s failed presidency. Trump recognizes the sacrifice these families made while Biden tries to forget his mistakes. Our gold star families deserve a commander in chief who honors their loss.
The scenes from Kabul will haunt America forever. Desperate people falling from planes and babies thrown over barbed wire fences shocked the world. Biden left behind hundreds of Americans and billions in military equipment for the Taliban. Our enemies celebrated while our allies lost faith in American strength.
Republican senators like Bill Cassidy and Rick Scott keep fighting for a full investigation. They want a bipartisan committee to examine every detail of this failure. The American people deserve to know how twenty years of progress collapsed in just weeks. Our military families especially deserve the truth about what happened.
Biden may think he can escape accountability, but the American people will not forget. Every family that lost a loved one deserves answers about this preventable tragedy. Real accountability means admitting mistakes and making sure this never happens again. Until Biden faces the consequences of his actions, justice remains denied.
