Afghanistan Marine veteran rips global leaders over Kabul airport explosions

A decorated Marine veteran had a clear message for global leaders after explosions rocked Kabul’s airport Thursday.

Thursday’s explosions reportedly left at least a dozen killed and more wounded, including four American service members killed, according to multiple reports that cited U.S. officials.

“Cowards kill innocent people, and coward leaders give them the opportunity,” Afghanistan veteran Johnny “Joey” Jones tweeted. “National disgrace, global tragedy.”
