Father Marine Lance CPL. Jared Schmitzwho was killed together with 12 other US service during the ISIS-K attack on Abbey Gate in Afghanistan on August 26, 2021, said the reaction of Democrats or the lack of it to the news that one of the masters behind the attack was “disturbing”.
President Donald Trump The Congress was used on Tuesday night to announce the arrest of Mohmmad Sharifullah on March 2, which the Ministry of Justice said had helped to plan the suicide bombing of ISIS-K at the Kabul Airport, while the Afghanistans fled to take over Taliban.

The attack resulted in the death of 13 US service members, as well as about 170 Afghan civilians.
But the news of the arrest did not welcome with great approval in the political passage. As Schmitz pointed out, just about approximately A third of Democrats He applauded the news, and no one seemed to join his republican colleagues in a standing ovation.
“You would think that each individual person would get up and applaud and cheer at that place,” Schmitz said.
The father of the falling Marina said the scene was “incredibly insulting as a golden star family.”
“That has nothing to do with politics,” Schmitz continued. “This is our army we are talking about and that must change.”
Several family members of those killed in the chaotic withdrawal of Afghanistan took over the question with the failure of President Joe Biden to mention their children killed in duty while talking from the Home Chamber during any of their three addresses to the Congress after the attack.
“There was no communication from the beginning,” Schmitz said, thinking about the controversial moment when the Golden Star families met with a bidet at the Dover Air Force Base when the bodies of members of the service members were returned from Afghanistan.

Biden has been criticized Because they have repeatedly checked their watch and many families expressed frustration because of a lack of transparency that led to chaotic withdrawal, and in the end of their loved ones.
“Every time you start closing a little bit is always a good thing,” Schmitz said in relation to the latest arrest of ISIS-K. “And find out that they got this type is amazing. There is much more to look at – certainly not the only one.
“This is one down and more, but very, very convinced that we will start to see some answers,” he added.
Schmitz decided to honor his son and 12 other Americans killed that day, starting a non -profit organization aimed at creating a “freedom campsite” for veterans within the project known as “Freedom 13.”
The goal is to develop a camp in every country, starting with the Missouri home country, where veterans can withdraw in a safe space to heal from their time in service or simply be around other veterans.

Each camp will consist of at least 100 hectares and 13 houses, indicating 13 members of the service killed in the attack.
Although Schmitz said they would need greater support to help them develop more camps for veterans, he believes that, under Trump’s administration, the family at least now “have allies in our corner.”
