NORTH CENTRAL OHIO – An Ohio Navy hospital corpsman was among the thirteen Americans killed in the suicide bombing Thursday near Kabul’s International Airport. The twenty-two year old Maxton Soviak of Berlin Heights had hopes of making the Navy a career, but his life was tragically cut short. Several Ohio clergy believe his life and others could have been saved if there was capable leadership in Washington D.C.
Just one year ago, America led the way in world diplomacy in the Middle East with the Abraham Accords. But now the “peace thru strength approach” has morphed into the Biden Administration’s “war thru weakness” policy. One Mansfield Pastor who served in the Marines with combat deployment in Iraq believes Washington D.C. is working against its citizens and specifically, the military.
“My heart breaks for that naval corpsman who died along with the other brave Marines defending our country,” says Pastor Chad Hayes. “Politicians in Washington D.C. have handcuffed our military. The Biden Administration mistakenly deemed the war over by announcing the withdrawal of the troops, but no war is over until the enemy says it is over.”
Not only are there reports the U.S. State Department is blocking Americans from entering the Kabul airport to escape Afghanistan, there are also reports the Biden Administration left behind $85 billion of military equipment to the Taliban.
“The decision (by Biden) to leave the military equipment to the Taliban was an epic failure. I am disgusted that Jihadists are now using weapons paid for by American taxpayer dollars to kill our sons and daughters. There are even pictures of them (Taliban) wearing U.S. uniforms. What a disgrace to anyone who has served in the military and worn the uniform.”

The safety of stranded American citizens and Afghan allies are left in jeopardy as the U.S. State Department confirmed their contact information was recently given to the Taliban.
Bucyrus Pastor J.C. Church lamented “The U.S. Armed Forces term ‘No man left behind,’ is now just a token statement carrying no meaning.”
As U.S. forces were under strict orders last week not to leave the Kabul airport, English, French, and German forces were seen sending special forces to rescue their citizens outside the airport.
“Our sympathy goes out to the Soviak family and those who have experienced loss from the terrorist attack, including American citizens and Afghan allies intentionally left stranded by the U.S. Government. This is a sobering moment for our country.”
“Elections have consequences,” admits Pastor Church. “The citizens in our Country have to get beyond personalities and look at job performance and love of country as deciding factors when they choose their leaders.”
According to Pastor Church, “The incompetence of Joe Biden and his staff has created a vacuum bringing instability to a region where the torture of women and children will become commonplace and religious freedom will be extinguished. This tragedy illustrates the point that when you fail to plan, you plan to fail. I hope this is a wake up call for the people of this Country.”

The Bottom Line:
Philippians Chapter 3 says “But we are citizens of Heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for Him to return as our Savior. He will take our weak mortal bodies and change them into glorious bodies like His own, using the same power with which He will bring everything under His control.”
