Marine injured in Kabul airport blast: Biden tried to shake his missing hand during hospital visit

A Marine injured by a suicide bomber during the US military’s chaotic 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan described a bizarre meeting with President Biden from his hospital bed — during which the commander-in-chief attempted to shake his missing hand.

Sgt. Tyler Vargas-Andrews recounted the odd encounter during an appearance on the “Shawn Ryan Show,” which aired last week.

The Marine lost his right arm and a leg as a result of the ISIS-K suicide attack outside Abbey Gate at Kabul’s Hamid Karzai International Airport in August 2021.

He recalled that he was so shaken by the attack, which killed 13 US service members and more than 160 Afghans, that he couldn’t remember who the president was moments before Biden entered his room at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

“Who’s the f–king president?” Vargas-Andrews remembered thinking.

This isn't even the bad part. Biden then looked at him and said "what do you want"

I can't stand how Biden interacts with our vets. Dude has no respect

[masonjarhillbilly]

Thank you for your service my brother. I was in Pearl Harbor for the 50th VJ celebration in 1995. Slick Willie Clinton gave a speech to the Pearl Harbor Survivors. They about faced him. It did not make any news.

"What do you want"

Is what Biden said to him on that bed

[Fisherman]

The media says trump defiled arlington, but never seen joe and kamala there, ever. Thankyou marine for being a hard charger

[dancindavey]

Biden didn’t know why he was there. 3- 4 hours late…. And no help directed to the Marine to his face. Trump would’ve been there….he’d take care of him, without a doubt. Of course, if Trump was still President, the young man wouldn’t be there at all. Hope someone helps you to the fullest extent Marine! You deserve that..and more.

Thank you for your service! Sorry you had to meet this joke!

[NavyBlue]

no, what do you want? really. what can he offer you for he is still there? do you want a magical potion for your right hand or a cure for your saltiness?

[KingofalltheKaijuAndallthemons]

Excuse me soldier what happened to you that you lost your arm is a tragedy at the same time sometimes people are confused they don't know if you lost your arm or your leg one of the two so you can't be blaming Joe Biden for that if you want to do something to yourself when the people who made you that way who injured you like that there's people that don't really honor other injured wars other than you

[dougfredricks]

Somebody give Joe Biden a hand for this gaffe. Oops... scratch that.
