He brought up his dead son again.  His son served in Iraq, not Afghanistan, he wasn't wounded.  He developed a brain tumor years after his service and died.  There is absolutely no parallel between those service members who were killed and wounded today and his son.  

At the end of his speech, he took questions and the last question he took was about who was taking responsibility for this masacre today.  Biden, being Biden, went on a path of trying to blame Trump, then saying he stood by his decision to withdraw, and other mumbo jumbo about how great this airlift is - if he says one more time that only the US could do this and it is the largest of its kind, but he never once said that he was responsible.  He blames the ISIS-K, he blames the Taliban, he even tries to blame the military who endorses his plans, but he never once took responsibility for all the chaos.  If our senior military can't come up with a better strategy than the one we are seeing, then we are in serious trouble.  But anyone with half a blame would not not announce a date and pull the troops out before the cilvilans.
