I think of 13 dead Americans coming home (from our evacuation of Afghanistan) in caskets as an (our highest) elected official and lifetime bureaucrat checked his watch on the tarmac at Dover Air Force Base.

At Dover Air Force Base in Dover, Delaware, on Aug. 29, 2021, President Joe Biden looks down alongside first lady Jill Biden as they attend the dignified transfer of the remains of a fallen service member — one of the 13 members of the US military killed in Afghanistan a week earlier. President Biden prepared Sunday at a U.S. military base to receive the remains of the 13 American service members killed in an attack in Kabul, a solemn ritual that comes amid fierce criticism of his handling of the Afghanistan crisis.
