- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.ย. 2024
- On August 26, 2021, thirteen service members gave their last full measure of devotion at Hamid Karzai International Airport.
Today, we remember their service and sacrifices, which enabled the evacuation of nearly 130,000 people out of Afghanistan.
Semper Fidelis.
It didn't have to go down this way. RIP to all the Marines lost that day. Semper Fi!
Thank you!!i was in bagram 09 n when I heard they was going to do this I told myself get everyone out from bagram don’t do it from Kabul or anywhere else n well it’s history now❤️😢
No it did not have to!
Til Valhalla my Brothers and Sister

“So Mr President, we are going to complete final withdrawal out of Bagram since it’s a fortress.” “Nah let’s use HKIA that only has a chain link fence while in the middle of fighting season”.
Don’t forget the one sailor and Soldier
If senior leader were held accountable to the same standards as Enlisted personnel, this could have been avoided. RIP Marines, Sailor, and Soldier
Semper Fidelis
It wouldn’t have been avoided, but people would have been held accountable.
@@CPTAwesome9000 it would have been avoided if you ran it by any PFC. Their first response: 'Sir with all due respect, this plan is dogshit....Sir'
@@johnlea3597 Which they would have ignored. Officers don’t listen to junior enlisted. That’s why LTs learn the hard way.
The whole war in Afghanistan - the lost of 6 trillion dollars down the drain.
No one held accountable. No one even asks how that happened? Shows you the power of the media.
@@CPTAwesome9000 Every since I heard about this and it made me pissed off and my brother in law older cousin and another brother in law on my little sister side and older sister side they couldn’t see it anymore and so I want to join because I want to fight for these fallen brothers and sisters that are dead bombing blast 💥 in 2021 and so I’m gonna fight for these guys and use their names as my motivation and think about them when I am going through BUDs because I told the recruiter I want to be a Navy Seal because I want to fight for the fallen brothers and sisters that are dead from the bombing blast on that day and let their family see it and I would die for them too really sacrifice my life for these guys

I doubt he even remembers that day

I swear Biden is a knucklehead. He is unfit to serve as our Commander-in-Chief. The soldiers "who gave it all" make me proud. But it didn't have to be that way. Poor or no planning by UNK JOEY.

One year since the “most successful civilian evacuation in American military history.”
And yet the senior leadership of the Marine Corps continues to dishonor the memories of these Marines through their lack of accountability.
It’s Disgusting
I was about to join and then this shit happened. So glad I didn’t. The unfolding of this country is not going well.
@@swappinqentertainment I was in the Marine Corps when this shit happened and I got out after my contract ended and now I’m joining the National Guard. Regardless of the state of the country I won’t let the politics make my secessions for myself or my family.

Your country has more vets dying of suicide than in combat.
Untold numbers of veterans starving homless in the streets.
What did you expect?

I will NEVER FORGET! God bless everyone who has served and sacrificed, defending our great country. Praying for the men and women who were there that tragic day. As well as to the families of the fallen. You will not be forgetting.
What were you folks defending in Afghanistan? Is it your country?
@@mgtvnews6890 They were defending the people who couldn’t defend themselves against the Taliban and its war on all the free people of Afghanistan.
@@collinthegamer510 don't worry that dumbass will never understand what it was like to truly be free
@@collinthegamer510 And they wasted thousands of lives and trillions of dollars for nothing LOL. Get fucked boot boys
@@collinthegamer510 Rubbish! No one in Afghanistan ask you to invade their country and kill thousands of innocents.
I agree with most of the video and it's beautiful. As a former marine I write this.
Something the Sgt Major said. These Marines didn't die for the constitution. They died to rescue Afghan civilians. The taliban was never effecting us and their has yet to be a attack in the states tied to the taliban.
They died because we as Marines believe in helping people regardless if they are Americans or not and we are a breed that wanna help at the cost of our own lives.
All that's fine, just don't make everyone sit here and listen to their sons aren't coming home because they were defending our freedom. That's bullshit
They died because their “leadership” failed them.
They died because they followed orders NOT to engage with the bomber they literally could see preparing for the attack days in advance.
They died because of the cowards that sit behind desks and rank and live fat fucking lives with zero accountability.
Don’t fall for the empty propaganda.
They were heroes, no doubt. But there is no justification or excuse for their deaths.
I’m an Iraqi and i saw a true commitment by the marines to liberate the nation from saddam , and i had a good memories with them
May allah bless their souls.
From your experience .. how many Iraqis are pro american invasion ?
@@rahatzaman8120 -
The Sunnis were against and fighting
The Shia and who were oppressed by Saddam , they have welcomed the invasion.
So the Iraqis who welcomed the invasion were slightly more.
And how many Iraqis right now think .. America should have stayed in Iraq ?
تShut up, you rafidah. in Diyala and Kirkuk your parties are being slaughtered weekly and we will find every traitor who works for behalf of the Rafidah government both in pakistan and iraq, and I'm going to find out who you are so I can denounce you. We coming for ghyنou .
@@subhiabed69 yo u blame them as khawarij but your rafidah factions from the safavid filthy are worse than the murtaddun. you mushrikun scom... youre ruining my country pakistan, karachi. my dad died because of your rafidah, you will be punished dogs
It baffles my mind that to this day the only person fired over this blunder was Lt Col. Scheller who simply tried to demand answers for why 13 people were not going to be going home to their families. Someone needs to get fired for this.
That someone is Joe Biden
Agreed, let’s not stop there though. There are plenty of Marine Corps Generals that need to get the boot for what happened that day. They made grave mistakes that cost the lives of their troops.
@@gaiusvanproosdy937 yep. Dozens of generals and high ranking officers that would gladly throw lower enlisted into the slaughter for a quick promotion.
Agree!
FJB Let's go Brandon!
Tactically, the Marines have never failed to complete the mission. From Saigon to Kabul, the Marines will always salute, execute and finish our mission with honor, courage, and commitment. Strategically, our General Officers need to do a better job of exercising Semper Fidelis and taking accountability for strategic level failures. Semper Fidelis means standing up to bad courses of action and taking accountability for your failures with extreme ownership. That didn't happen here.
To the 31 Purple Heart recipients of HKIA's Abbey Gate, we see you. You are not forgotten.
Thats just coping with the fact that after 20 years of fighting, the taliban took over in the end.

Never forget these brave Marines!!!
As well the sailor and soldier too.
@@masterchief9177 absolutely !! All our military lost in this debacle!!!
I got home to find out we lost 13 brave people. I’m not ashamed to say I shed tears, not just because it was such a large number of troops but because we were about to leave. Seeing the aftermath was even more heartbreaking, as children will now be raised and even born without knowing one of their parents.
Despite what the news tells us, we are blessed. Innocent people were able to come to America. The war never came to American soil. You can say anything you want about the government and not get reprimanded.
It’s very tragic but this is why we are the land of the free. It’s because we happen to be the home of the brave.
Semper Fidelis
Very pleased to hear someone else say this. Our government is far from perfect, but one thing is for sure: the US truly is the land of opportunity.
SEMPER FIDELIS.
Salute to all my MARINES brothers and sisters.
From Canada
I was in 1st phase of boot camp when this happened. We had just done our first CFT. Afterwards they pulled us aside and explained to us what had happened, and to pay attention to what we were learning there, because we might need it later.
We were in last phase already done with bwt literally less than a week before the crucible when this happened and our chief drill instructor read us a poem and said that a Taliban leader had wrote it and also told us about that attack and we all taught we were going to war.
@@dynamitelui damn... i was fox company. graduated november 5th 2021. what company were u?
@@radfoxneanderthal5577 I was Echo Co. graduated September 24. Crucible completed 20210911. I remember that poem he read was written by An American speacial forces operator and he criticized American culture through the poem calling us weak and the whole time we thought it was a Taliban who’d written it. Our chief drill tricked us to show us that we can’t get complacent and that’s why the soldier wrote the poem to show the lens in which the Taliban see us as complacent and lazy with all our technology and modernism.
Did they explain that the Marines on the wall knew what the bonnet looked like? But the people they trusted their lives to ordered them not to engage?
Did they explain how the “leadership” trusted the Taliban to behave as “security?” The same people who liberated the bomber who had total freedom of movement and was allowed to perpetrate this atrocity?
Did they explain that when things go wrong it won’t be the “leadership” who suffers, it will be you?
Nah probably not.
Shipping out sept 2019
My buddy and I were bums living in a trashy apartment together one year ago today. Right now, my buddy is at MCT, he graduated Basic two weeks ago! Learning about that attack had an impact on both of us. We won't forget these Marines
At the end of the day you are protecting a tyrannical government. You deserve no honor
@@Lostsouls5557 I'm going to go to a Starbucks, get a huge coffee, slurp it down, and be extremely proud and impressed by the Marine Corps and the fact that it's the baddest fighting force the world has ever seen, and there's nothing you can do about any of it :)
@@jdstark24 lol the taliban repeatedly wiped the floor with your best fighting force in the world and so did the Vietnamese
Went to high school with Daegans mom and aunt. My heart goes out to them.
Thank you very much all USMC and family friends.

13 strong and never forgotten.

Thank you to all the service members that lost their lives and to their families. S/F.
Your memory is a blessing, brothers and sisters 🇺🇸🇦🇫
Me and my little brother are both currently in the army my sister is in the Air Force my cousin navy and my other two cousins marines. I have the upmost respect how marines carry themselves and God bless those fallen marines soldier and sailor who died that day. RIP to them all
Semper Fidelis to my brothers and sisters for their 20 years of service in Afghanistan. Ooh-Rah!!!
Everyone- try and get a 3mile run/walk in today, to help show respect towards our fallen!
*Respect from Brasil.* 🔰
God bless all these poor souls .......terribly sad .But I will always be grateful for your country who liberated Europe a long time ago. I will never forget. Hello from France. God bless you ALL and the USA.
to those who were past marines and are currently serving in the corp semper fi brothers in arms.
Mad love from your allied force Australia
Those young patriots lost their life that day. They will never get to live past that age at which they died. They will never get to experience life any more or grow. This very much makes me sad. May they rest in peace. What was supposed to be an evac turned into a tragedy. I hope the Corps brings this up every anniversary so that we may never forget them. I salute all of our fallen troops. Thank you for your service
All for nothing!!!! Terrible nightmares still 15 years later! Lost 7 of 72 hardcore Marines. I have memories that I will never share with my family. FOR WHAT!!! TO SURRENDER!!! We left NOTHING on the battlefield and it was all STRIPPED away! WE GAVE BACK CONTROL TO THE VERY ENEMY THAT WE WERE SENT THERE TO DISMANTLE!!!!
POLITICIANS HAVE NO PLACE IN OUR FIGHT! CIVILIANS HAVE NO PLACE IN OUR FIGHT! When people thank me for my service, I simply ask. Did you vote democrat?? If so, I don't want your thanks!!!
We definitely left something on the battlefield. Several billion dollars of military gear and our brothers lives. It's bullshit!
What’s wrong with democrats?
@@theslayersshotgun9201 the scums that American patriots despise
The Founding Fathers were very deliberate about including civilian control of the military. Federalist Papers 46 and 59 are written about the importance of civilian authority, primarily Congress, control of the military. Today, there are 91 veterans servicing in Congress the lowest number since before World War 2. However. of the sitting members of Congress under 45, 27% are veterans.
And let us not forget that when it came to supporting veterans, every single Democrat voted for the PACT act. 174 House members and 11 Senators ALL REPUBLICAN voted against it. In addition to the measures that will help veterans and their families who were exposed to burn pits to Agent Orange, it also includes increases in mental health services. Contact your local VA.
@@theslayersshotgun9201 They vote for things like veterans healthcare and unlike the former guy don't call those who serve suckers and losers
Not forgotten, rest well, much love from 1/4
Rest In Peace warriors y’all are at peace with honor
Never forget the 13 brave souls lost due to the gross incompetence of this administration.
its the ones before who were at fault we started negotiating in the first place.
if Trump didn't start this bs then incompetent Biden wouldn't have had to organize a withdrawl.
don't forget it was the billionaire draft dodger who negotiated this ... its a shame. no good president.
Well you guys voted him in, most popular president in US history
@@mosesgoldbergshekelstien1520 if you believe that klippeh, I got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you
Don't forget the previous administration, who ordered the withdrawal.
@@Rabascan Lol good one. First of all Sleepy Joe pushed back the Afghanistan pullout and completely disregarded Trumps plan in regards to the withdrawal. This was completely Joe Bidens fault but nice try.
We the people have failed to elect the leadership these brave warriors need. It's not that we left Afghanistan its how our leadership in DC did it. If you ever want to thank somebody for their service then be an active and educated voter.
Very faithful too America and the military im part of it myself. It's unfortunate those young men and women were left there as sitting ducks just waiting for an incident too occur
Rest in peace Heroes! Thank you all for your service! God bless our troops and God bless America!

Ok p*lish
I know it goes without saying but at the end when they show the fallen U.S. service members as a tribute and other sister branches of the Armed service who also passed away really gave me a tearjerker for a second there ngl. Damn.
Thank you to all you brave men and women who are protecting us every day and Rest In Peace to the 13 marines , sailor, and soldier who perished 🙏🕊
@@mdstate829 We lost Afghanistan but won Iraq. It's not the military's fault we lost in Afghanistan though, Sleepy Joe and crew withdrew us.
May my fellow Devil Dogs, Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen that didn't make it be in peace there's many tears in the sands of Iraq and Afghanistan. I once was a 21 year Corporal leading Marines. I'm now a retired Marine. And, not a day goes by that will allow me to forget the good times and the bad. But it was the honor of my life to serve with America's finest. And also the Canadians, and British brothers. Semper Fi always and forever.
United States Marine Corps. Thank you for making this video. The younger brother is deeply here, and here he "pays tribute" to them. thanks.
Thank God we sent brave men and women to that country to do good and install values to help shape Afghanistan for the better…all to be pulled out in a half ass manner by poorly informed politicians and general officers who have done more desk jockeying than actual fighting. This is a deeply hurtful and embarrassing moment for our nation.
As an Army Veteran, I really appreciate that they added SSG Knauss along with the others, didn't even know him personally but that sacrifice does not go unnoticed. Doesn't matter which branch you served in, in the end we're all brothers in arms. 🇺🇲
May the Marines, the FMF Corpsman, and the soldiers who died serving the cause of freedom and America - and the families, shipmates, and friends - be ever comforted by the fact that their profound scarifies were made to save innocent lives.
How stupid are you they didn't die to serve the cause of America they died to in Rich Wall Street the military industrial complex the Jews and the politicians they died for nothing they died so they can be replaced by Muslims that's stupid photo of the Marine carrying some Afghan baby that's going to come to this country while he comes back in a body bag what does that have to do with America you're a moron it sounds like you never served and yes I'm a Marine
One of those Marines was from the town I live in. They have utmost respect.
Is the town called Lawrenceburg Indiana by chance ?
Biden's ineptitude can't be overstated. Appreciate the sacrifices and daily struggle of servicemembers let down by poor leadership.
Without using hindsight, I’m curious on what Biden could have done differently to have helped the situation?
@@anon69_q
Evacuate in May as was the original plan or at least pretend to care as the casket of a dead marine passes by him instead of checking his watch like he had somewhere better to be
Marines did their duty while their Commander-in-Chief ignored his. Semper Fi.
Never Forget those that died.
Never Forget those that killed then.
Never Forget those who have yet to be held accountable for the botched Afghanistan withdrawal.
Well you have one president who started negotiating with those damn terrorists...
and then he handed the evac to the next one with no plan in the making.
a political move that cost untold numbers of lives...
This tragedy is what led me to try to join the Marines. It pissed me off. I've been losing weight for a year and am a couple months away from going to mcrd San Diego.

They opened fire on civilians and then promptly killed more via airstrike. The soldiers are scum who deserved to die.
Trained with these guys before they made it to Kabul Airport while in PSAB, Saudi Arabia. They were a great bunch and wish their families a peace filled future.

Our Marine from Camp Pendleton God rest their souls!
God, feels like yesterday when i had to deal with the refugee crisis first hand. First time as a 4 year airman on a TDY to New Jersey mcguire afb and seeing the thousands of afgans displaced. Never saw combat before but it was the first time I'd see what shrapnel wounds looked like and seeing kids missing limbs or body parts from the war. Saddening see what the cost of war that we had no sense being in the first place does.
