Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, has said that the 13 U.S. service members who were killed in Kabul five years ago will never be forgotten and that U.S. forces must never again be placed in such circumstances.
Rubio wrote on X on Wednesday, August 26, that five years ago, 13 U.S. service members were taken from their families and their country in Kabul.
He described the service members as “brave” and said their memory will live on forever.
Rubio made the remarks on the fifth anniversary of the deadly attack at Kabul airport, which occurred during the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan.
The U.S. Secretary of State also said that his country would not allow U.S. military personnel to be betrayed in such a manner again.
