The Biden-Harris administration seems to have little to no respect for our troops. And they made it even more clear recently.
Because the current administration has shocked the world with this disgraceful ant-military move.
In a powerful and emotional tribute, former President Donald Trump honored the 13 fallen American service members who lost their lives during the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal orchestrated by the Biden-Harris administration.
The solemn ceremony, held at Arlington National Cemetery, was a poignant reminder of the price paid by brave American soldiers due to the gross incompetence and failed leadership of the current administration.
On Monday, President Trump laid a wreath at the tombstones of these fallen heroes, placing his hand over his heart as a bugler played Taps in their honor. His gesture was not just a tribute to the individuals who sacrificed their lives but a symbol of his deep respect and unwavering support for the men and women of the U.S. military.

Trump’s actions stand in stark contrast to the Biden-Harris administration, which has consistently shown a lack of respect and concern for our troops.
The 13 service members who were killed during the chaotic and haphazard evacuation at Kabul’s Abbey Gate on August 26, 2021, will forever be remembered as heroes who paid the ultimate price due to the failures of their government. Among them were Marine Sgt. Nicole L. Gee, Cpl. Daegan Page, LCpl. David Espinoza, LCpl. Dylan Merola, Cpl. Humberto Sanchez, Cpl. Hunter Lopez, Sgt. Johanny Rosario Pichardo, Army SSG. Ryan Knauss, Marine LCpl. Kareem Nikoui, Navy Seaman Maxton Soviak, Marine SSgt. Darin Hoover, LCpl. Jared Schmitz, and LCpl. Rylee McCollum.
The tragic loss of these brave souls is a direct consequence of the Biden administration’s catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan. The withdrawal, characterized by poor planning and a complete lack of foresight, led to the Taliban’s rapid takeover of the country and the humiliating collapse of the U.S.-backed government in Kabul.
The Biden administration failed to anticipate the speed of the Taliban’s advance, leaving thousands of Americans and allied civilians scrambling to escape.
The hasty and ill-planned evacuation culminated in the horrific suicide bombing at Kabul International Airport, where these 13 service members lost their lives. The attack was a stark reminder of the dangers that arise from failed leadership and a lack of strategic planning.
Biden’s decision to withdraw U.S. forces before ensuring the safe evacuation of civilians and allies was a grave mistake, one that cost the lives of not only American soldiers but also hundreds of Afghan civilians.
In contrast, President Trump has always prioritized the safety and well-being of American service members. Throughout his presidency, Trump demonstrated a deep commitment to the military, ensuring that they had the resources and support they needed to carry out their missions effectively.
His administration’s focus on rebuilding the military and standing strong against America’s adversaries made it clear that Trump valued the lives and sacrifices of every soldier.
After the wreath-laying ceremony, Trump took the time to visit the tombstone of Army SSG. Ryan Knauss, one of the fallen heroes, and personally called his family, who could not attend the ceremony. This act of compassion and personal connection is indicative of Trump’s genuine care for the families of the fallen and his deep sense of responsibility as a leader.

In stark contrast, the Biden-Harris administration has shown little regard for the lives lost during the Afghanistan withdrawal. On the third anniversary of this tragedy, there was nothing on the schedule for President Joe Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris, who is now running to take over the White House. Their absence and silence speak volumes about their indifference to the sacrifices made by American troops.
Biden’s mishandling of the Afghanistan withdrawal has had far-reaching consequences, not just in terms of the loss of American lives but also in the erosion of America’s standing on the world stage.
The chaotic exit from Afghanistan signaled to the world that the United States, under Biden’s leadership, is weak and indecisive. This perception has emboldened adversaries like Russia, which subsequently invaded Ukraine, and contributed to a rise in global instability.
Trump did not mince words in his condemnation of Biden and Harris. In a statement posted on his Truth Social account, Trump referred to the Afghanistan withdrawal as “the most EMBARRASSING moment in the history of our Country.”
He lambasted the administration for its gross incompetence, which led to the deaths of 13 American soldiers, the abandonment of billions of dollars’ worth of military equipment, and the subsequent deterioration of America’s global influence.
Trump’s critique of the Biden-Harris administration is a rallying cry for all Americans who believe in strong leadership and a robust national defense. His message is clear: under Biden and Harris, America has become a laughingstock on the world stage, and it is time for a change.
As the Biden-Harris administration continues to falter, it is more important than ever for Americans to recognize the need for strong, decisive leadership. Trump’s actions on Monday are a reminder of what true patriotism looks like — a leader who honors the sacrifices of our troops and puts America first.
The failures of the Biden administration, from the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal to the ongoing crisis at the southern border, have shown that the current leadership is ill-equipped to protect and defend the interests of the American people. It is time for a change, and that change can only come from a return to the strong, principled leadership that President Trump embodies.
As we remember the 13 fallen heroes of Afghanistan, let us also remember the importance of leadership that values and respects the sacrifices of our troops. America deserves better than the incompetence and indifference of the Biden-Harris administration.
