She revealed that he had expressed concerns about the \u200dchaotic situation, lack of communication, and absence of leadership upon his arrival. He had never\u2062 seen anything like it.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cHe told me, Mom, I now \u2062know that the\u200b command cares nothing for us,\u201d Barnett shared. \u201cMy son,\u200d along \u200dwith the other 12 individuals, left this earth believing that their command cared nothing for\u200c them.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>During an interview on &#8220;The \u200cLead with Jake Tapper,&#8221; Tapper acknowledged Barnett&#8217;s hesitancy to speak out and\u2063 asked her why \u2064she had decided \u200bto share her story publicly now.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIf you give \u2062me\u200c a little leeway here, when I first saw the text saying CNN wanted \u2064to talk to me, I was so happy,\u201d Barnett responded. \u201cWhere have you all been? We need you, Jake. We need you. We need CNN. We need all the \u200bother networks to voice our opinions, our truths and get it out there.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Barnett emphasized the importance of unity and justice for her son, stating that he fought \u2063and died for the country\u2064 as a whole, \u200cnot just for conservatives or liberals. She expressed her determination to ensure that \u200dsuch a tragedy never happens again.<\/p>\n<p>Tapper expressed his\u2062 sympathy, saying, \u201cWe\u2019ve been covering the\u2063 story of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/a-mistake-that-will-haunt-us-for-decades-mccarthy-calls-for-biden-admin-to-be-investigated-amid-afghanistan-collapse\/\" title=\"A \u2018Mistake That Will Haunt Us For Decades\u2019: McCarthy Calls For Biden Admin To Be Investigated Amid Afghanistan Collapse\">botched withdrawal<\/a> since it happened. And it\u2019s just heartbreaking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He then asked Barnett about her claim that the Biden administration had lied to \u2062her about what happened\u2063 that day.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cFirst off, they \u200btold \u200cme that my\u2063 son died on impact, which is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/where-have-you-all-been-gold-star-mom-slams-tapper-media-for-silence-on-bidens-botched-withdrawal\/\" title=\"'Gold Star Mom Criticizes Tapper, Media for Ignoring Biden's Failed Withdrawal'\">completely 100 percent false<\/a>,\u201d Barnett revealed. \u2063\u201cHe lived. He put a tourniquet on himself. He handed out his ammo to his men because, you\u2063 know,\u200b gunfire is going off.\u2063 So he, \u2064you know, he \u2062did live\u2064 for a little while. I now know because of witnesses that were there. You know, how he \u2014 where he was \u2064when he passed.\u200d They lied about\u200d where\u2064 he was standing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Barnett further explained that she had obtained the truth from witnesses, contradicting \u200bthe false statements\u200c made by the administration. She expressed \u200bher frustration with their lack of accurate information.<\/p>\n<p>Tapper concluded the interview by \u200dasking Barnett what she would say to President Biden if he \u200bwere \u2062watching.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI wanted to say to him that\u200c he \u200bneeds to be \u200da grown\u2062 man,\u201d Barnett replied. \u201cHe \u2064needs to come out and say, yes, I \u2062made a\u200d mistake.
