Active service members and veterans have revealed the absolute horror of two suicide bomb attacks that produced a stench of human flesh under a large plume of smoke as the screams of children, women and men filled the space around Kabul airport in Afghanistan.
The American servicemen were providing first-hand testimony to the House of Representatives about the chaotic US withdrawal from the country, describing in harrowing detail the carnage and death they witnessed on the ground.
Former Marine Sergeant Tyler Vargas-Andrews, who wore a prosthetic arm and scars of his own grave wounds from the airport bombing, told Congress: “The withdrawal was a catastrophe in my opinion. And there was an inexcusable lack of accountability."
