Mothers of Marines killed in a suicide blast in Kabul during the final chaotic days of the Afghan withdrawal say they have been lied to by the Pentagon and that officers kept some items belonging to their sons.
The mother of Marine Cpl. Hunter Lopez said her sons comrades who were wounded in the attack were even told not to discuss what had happened.
It comes as the Biden administration faced fresh calls on Monday for an explanation of what went wrong in August 2021, when a suicide bomber was able to detonate his deadly payload at Kabul airport, killing 13 Americans and at least 170 Afghans.
Mother of Lance Cpl. Dylan Merola who died because of botched Afghanistan withdrawal: “When [Biden] approached me, his words to me were, ‘My wife, Jill & I, know how you feel. We lost our son as well and brought him home in a flag draped coffin’'
