Family of Marine Killed In Afghanistan Forced to Pay $60,000 Bill Thanks to Biden Pentagon Policy Change

A family is being forced to front a hefty bill after their Marine daughter was killed in Afghanistan thanks to President Joe Biden's latest Pentagon policy change.

The family of Marine Corps Sgt. Nicole L. Gee, one of the 13 U.S. soldiers killed during Joe Biden's botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, must pay $60,000 to move their daughter's body to Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia after her funeral in California.
Republican Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla) told Fox News that he was "enraged to learn that the Department of Defense had placed a heavy financial burden" on the Gee family.
The option for the Defense Department to refuse to pay for the transportation of her body was made possible by an amendment to last year's National Defense Authorization Act. The act states that the Secretary of Defense may provide a fallen service member's next of kin "a commercial air travel use waiver for the transportation of deceased remains of [a] military member who dies inside a theater of combat operations."
Mills argued that the DOD should care for the bill, not the grieving family who lost a loved one.
"Typically, our fallen heroes are flown back home for a solemn service and then laid to a final rest at Arlington Cemetery with the utmost respect and honor," the Republican said. "It is an egregious injustice that grieving families were burdened to shoulder the financial strain of honoring their loved ones. This is an unacceptable situation that demands immediate rectification."

The family started a GoFundMe page to help pay for the massive burden left on them by the Biden Administration. Any leftover money after spending for their daughter's body to be shipped will be donated to the 18 other service members affected by the bombing in Afghanistan.

Family of Marine Killed in Afghanistan Stuck with $60,000 Bill After Pentagon Policy Change

By Warner Todd Huston July 26, 2023 at 12:57pm

In what must be the lowest blow that Joe Biden’s Pentagon can deliver to one of our fallen heroes, the family of a Marine who was killed in the line of duty in Afghanistan had to pay to ship her body to its final resting place because the Pentagon wouldn’t foot the bill.
The family of Marine Corps Sgt. Nicole L. Gee, one of the 13 U.S. soldiers killed during Joe Biden’s disastrous pullout from Afghanistan, has come forward to explain that they were stuck paying thousands of dollars to have her body shipped to Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia after her funeral in California.
This horrific situation was brought forward by Florida GOP Rep. Cory Mills, who told Fox News that he was “enraged to learn that the Department of Defense had placed a heavy financial burden” on the Gee family, which was stuck paying the tab for the final flight of their loved one’s body.

The family wasn’t just on the hook for a few grand, either. The final bill to have Gee’s body moved to Arlington was “a staggering $60,000,” Mills said.
The family resorted to starting a GoFundMe page to help cover expenses.

Mills discovered that the Department of Defense declined to pay for the fallen hero’s body to be moved from California to Arlington Cemetery.
Gee’s remains were flown to her hometown of Roseville, California, for a ceremony, but the DOD refused to pay the costs to have her casket moved from California to Virginia. The family was faced with paying the bill themselves until they discovered Honoring Our Fallen, an organization dedicated to helping the families of fallen service members.

Mills noted that the Pentagon has the option to refuse to pay for such expenses, thanks to a recent amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act, which states that the department may provide a fallen soldier’s next of kin “a commercial air travel use waiver for the transportation of deceased remains of [a] military member who dies inside a theater of combat operations.”
“May” is the key word, because it also gives the Pentagon the option to refuse to fund the transportation of a fallen soldier’s remains.

Mills said these costs should fall on the DOD, not aggrieved family members.
“Typically, our fallen heroes are flown back home for a solemn service and then laid to a final rest at Arlington Cemetery with the utmost respect and honor,” Mills said.
“It is an egregious injustice that grieving families were burdened to shoulder the financial strain of honoring their loved ones. This is an unacceptable situation that demands immediate rectification,” the congressman added.



Gee’s family also told supporters that after her expenses were satisfied, any money left over from the GoFundMe page would be donated to the 18 other service members who were injured by the bombing in Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, as Biden’s Pentagon was refusing to pay the costs to fly Gee’s remains to Arlington, the DOD has been happily funding drag queen performances to “promote diversity and inclusion” in Ecuador, of all places.

SIGAR: Biden admin has given over $11 billion to Afghanistan since Taliban took over and U.S. withdrew its troops in 2021

The United States under President Joe Biden has given a total aid package of over $11 billion to Afghanistan and Afghan refugees since the Taliban took over Afghanistan after the chaotic U.S. withdrawal in August 2021.
According to the report released by John Sopko, the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), the U.S. and its allies have been sending approximately $80 million of "cash shipments" every 10 to 14 days to support the Afghan population.
The report quoted that the United Nations(UN) assured Sopko that the financial aid is "placed in designated UN accounts in a private bank" rather than being "deposited in the central bank or provided to the Taliban." The UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) stressed that they monitor, audit, inspect and vet these cash deliveries following UN financial rules and processes.

However, the report acknowledged that the Taliban has a history of stealing foreign aid, obstructing oppressed minority populations from accessing it and extracting funds from UN shipments or imposing fees on cash deliveries. The Taliban has been known to interfere with UN and NGO activities, limiting access to essential assistance for vulnerable populations.
In short, this massive foreign aid flow to Afghanistan has sparked concerns about its effective use and the possibility of funds falling into the wrong hands.
Taliban's interference with foreign aid continues to plague Afghanistan


The latest report from SIGAR has shed light on the ongoing struggles humanitarian agencies face in delivering aid to the people of Afghanistan. Despite efforts to provide crucial assistance to vulnerable populations, the Taliban's interference, theft and discrimination against certain groups have continued to hinder humanitarian operations.
The SIGAR report highlights the Taliban's long history of stealing foreign aid, blocking oppressed minority populations from receiving assistance, and profiting from UN shipments and other aid efforts. The group has charged administrative fees to various Taliban ministries, which they record as inland revenue. Such practices have significantly hindered the distribution of aid to those in need.
In 2023, the Taliban's interference in the UN and NGO activities increased, further limiting beneficiary access to lifesaving assistance. The report quotes a UN official who notes that violence against humanitarian personnel, assets, and facilities had a significant impact on the humanitarian response during the last quarter. Humanitarian agencies documented 127 instances of impeded access, including a 73-percent increase in the detention of aid workers compared to 2022.
The Taliban has also demanded sensitive data from struggling humanitarian groups, including lists of their staff members and beneficiaries, further compromising the safety and security of aid workers and recipients. As a result, 49 UN Humanitarian partner programs temporarily suspended operations in August, and 36 remained suspended as of September, with "Taliban interference with staff recruitment" identified as one of the major issues.
The discrimination against women working for aid agencies has persisted, leaving only about a quarter of humanitarian operations that employ both male and female staffers fully operational. SIGAR's report also highlights the Taliban's efforts to impose an ultra-conservative and radical religious ideology based on their harsh interpretation of Islam, despite early promises to be more moderate.
The United Nations Human Rights Office has noted widespread human rights violations, including discrimination against women and girls, with perpetrators often going unpunished. Despite these challenges, the Biden administration's approach appears to involve offering full diplomatic recognition and legitimacy as an incentive for the Taliban to "respect the human rights and fundamental freedoms of all Afghans," as stated by the State Department.
However, the Taliban has shown limited interest in pursuing such goals and has instead sought to establish economic relations with countries like China.
