<p>Special Forces veteran <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/ufcs-tim-kennedy-saving-lives-in-afghanistan-responds-to-critics/">Tim Kennedy</a> explained on Tuesday how President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden">Joe Biden&#8217;s</a> botched withdrawal from <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/afghanistan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Afghanistan</a> last August had telegraphed American weakness to the rest of the world — to both allies and enemies.</p>
<p>Kennedy, also a Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter, joined Fox News&#8217; midday panel show &#8220;Outnumbered&#8221; to reflect on the disastrous exit from Afghanistan one year earlier — and he noted that the news broadcasts hadn&#8217;t even come close to describing the horrors people were witnessing on the ground.</p>

<p>&mdash; Virginia Kruta (@VAKruta) <a href="https://twitter.com/VAKruta/status/1559615118111039490?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 16, 2022</a></p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/kayleigh-mcenany/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kayleigh McEnany</a> opened the segment by noting that the widely-panned withdrawal from Afghanistan had been the start of a long slide for Biden&#8217;s approval rating — and that Americans still had not forgotten the tragic images that came out of Kabul on those final days: people falling to their deaths after trying to cling to the outside of a plane, babies being handed over the fence to people inside the airport, and a suicide-bomb attack that left 13 dead American service members.</p>
<p>&#8220;Thankfully American eyes never got to see the horrors that took place on the ground in Afghanistan,&#8221; Kennedy began. &#8220;I mean, watching people fall from an aircraft is horrific &#8230; I&#8217;m not understanding how — better that was than what was actually happening on the ground.&#8221;</p>
<p>Kennedy then pivoted to address Biden&#8217;s claim that there would not be helicopters evacuating Americans from the roof of an embassy, arguing that what actually happened was so much worse than that would have been.</p>
<p>&#8220;So trying to make a claim that this is not going to happen, you know, we&#8217;re not going to have helicopters pulling people off the roof, it&#8217;s just not true,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;You know, there were burning bodies, there were dead babies hanging from concertina wire.&#8221;</p>
<p>Cohosts Kayleigh McEnany and Harris Faulkner both audibly gasped at the mention of dead babies.</p>
<p>&#8220;The things of absolute nightmares were happening all around us, every single place that you looked,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It&#8217;s something that hurt us on the world stage, it&#8217;s something that hurt us with our enemies and our allies. Everybody looked to us and realized how vulnerable we really are — you know, it&#8217;s the first time that you saw Superman bleed — like the first time in a long time that we recognize how dangerous a position that America was, and Afghanistan amplified that.&#8221;</p>
