a/o Aug 28th @ 7:08pm ET - The remains of the 13 US troops killed in an ISIS-K suicide blast are currently en route to Dover Air Force Base for dignified transfer, according to the Pentagon.
'The remains of the 13 individuals who were killed are on their way back to the United States, but I am not at liberty to give you their precise arrival,' Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said on Saturday.
Kirby declined to confirm whether President Joe Biden would attend the dignified transfer at the base in Delaware, his home state, which is the domestic intake point for US military fatalities abroad.
When asked on Friday if Biden would be present at Dover, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said: 'he would consider and want to be a part of any means of honoring the lives that were lost.'

Due to President Biden's botched draw-down of American military and civilians from Afghanistan, 13 U.S. military members, and at least 169 Afghanistan civilians were murdered by an ISIS-K terrorist suicide bomber.

Reaction from relatives of the brave Soldiers, Marines, and Navy heroes who died on August 26th.

After a tragedy like this, it is customary for the Commander-in-Chief U.S. President, or the Vice President, to be at the airport to meet the returning service member's remains, and to console/thank the relatives who are there.
As of 8 hours ago, the White House has still not indicated if President Biden, or VP Harris, will be at Dover Airforce base when the flight from Afghanistan lands.

Why is there hesitation? President Biden returns to his home state of Delaware frequently. He could make the short trip to Dover Delaware Airforce base with his eyes closed.
Wouldn't it be a major slap-in-the-face if the man who is partially responsible for the deaths of these American heroes, isn't present when their bodies return to U.S. soil?

DOVER AIR FORCE BASE, Del., Sunday Aug 29 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden headed to Dover Air Force Base on Sunday to honor members of the U.S. military killed in a suicide bomb attack during the evacuation of civilians from Kabul airport last week.
An Islamic State suicide bombing just outside Kabul airport on Thursday killed scores of Afghans and 13 American troops.
Biden and his wife, Jill, will meet the families of service members killed in the attack, a White House schedule showed.
They will then witness the transfer of the troops' remains from an aircraft flown to the base in Delaware.
Thursday's attack, which was claimed by ISIS-K, the Afghan affiliate of Islamic State, was the most lethal incident for U.S. service members in Afghanistan in a decade.

Fully responsible.
The heartbroken mom of one of the 13 US servicemen who were killed in Thursday’s terrorist attack in Kabul called into a radio show to express her feelings about the "unnecessary debacle" and blast President Biden for his actions. “This was an unnecessary debacle that could have been handled properly,” Kathy McCollum, mother of deceased US Marine Lance Cpl. Rylee McCollum, told radio host Andrew Wilkow on Friday. “They had months and months to remove everyone from Afghanistan, and they chose not to. And so they sent in . . . 6,000 troops, and my son, through the laws of statistics, my son was one of the ones who just got blown up in a freaking terrorist bomb yesterday.”
