In 2009, [[Richard Holbrooke]] was appointed as a special adviser on [[Pakistan]] and [[Afghanistan]], working under [[Barack Obama]] and [[Hillary Clinton]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/08/us/politics/08holbrooke.html|title=Back on World Stage, a Larger-Than-Life Holbrooke|first=Jodi|last=Kantor|newspaper=The New York Times|date=7 February 2009|access-date=}}</ref> According to Holbrooke's diary which was turned over to his official biographer George Packer following his death, when [[Vice President Joe Biden]] was asked about America's obligation to maintain their presence in Afghanistan to protect vulnerable civilians, he scornfully replied, "F*** that, we don't have to worry about that.

====Seal Team 6====
:{{See also|Afghan War}}
The families of Navy Seal Team 6 blame Vice President Biden for revealing the identity of the Navy Seal Team that killed [[Osama bin Laden]].<ref>https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/03/bidens_betrayal_of_seals_should_doom_presidential_run.html</ref> Seal Team 6 is a covert action force, and all its members are sworn to secrecy to never reveal the actions they participate in. The government likewise is bound to protect their identities against reprisals. In boasting of the killing, Biden named Seal Team 6 by name as the unit that found bin Laden.
On August 6, 2011, the [[Taliban]] ambushed a Chinook helicopter carrying 30 U.S. service members — including 15 SEAL Team 6 members — in [[Afghanistan]].<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2013/05/09/military-families-allege-muslim-cleric-damned-dead-navy-seals-at-ceremony/</ref> Everyone on board was killed.<ref>https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/jun/7/the-betrayal-of-the-navys-seal-team-6/</ref> In a show of [[multiculturalism]], the [[Obama administration]] insisted a [[Muslim]] cleric be present when the bodies were recovered.<ref>http://joemiller.us/2013/05/seal-team-6-press-conference-obama-at-fault-muslim-cleric-prayed-at-funeral-damned-them-to-hell/</ref>
Families of the slain SEAL members held a news conference at the National Press Club demanding an investigation into why their sons had been identified, despite specific assurances by the Obama administration their identities would be protected.<ref>http://joemiller.us/2013/05/navy-seal-team-vi-families-to-reveal-obama-admin-s-culpability-in-death-of-sons/</ref> To add insult, the families complained about the Muslim cleric that the Obama administration required to preside in a ceremony over their remains, damned their souls to hell as infidels in an Islamic prayer proclaiming victory.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7S7h5PO3r-w</ref>
