Taliban fighters can be seen in recently released video?s? celebrating the seizure of US Humvees, tanks and assault weapons from Afghan security forces as the Biden administration begins its troop withdrawal? before the Sept. 11 deadline.

The Taliban have been capturing key districts in the northern part of the war-torn country — including Kandahar and Badakhshan — with little or no resistance from Afghan national forces? since the US announced the timetable for the departure in April.

They are extending their control of Afghanistan from their southern strongholds by filling the void left by the departing US forces.

More than a thousand Afghan soldiers fled across the border to Tajikistan after clashing with the Taliban in Badakhshan and surrendered their weapons.


quote:

A Taliban commander told Sky News that his fighters had taken a cache of weapons from Afghan security personnel that included 70 sniper rifles, 900 guns, 30 Humvees, 20 pickup trucks and 15 armored vehicles.

The report also said the Taliban had a shipping container full of satellite phones, grenades and mortars, with many having labels saying: “Property of the USA Government.”

I can't believe our military was so stupid as to leave that crap behind. They KNEW what was going to happen.

Last man out should have detonated a set of implosion devices that left everything destroyed.

Those images need to be shown to every senior member of the DoD and every General Officer with the words, "Mission Accomplished. Hope it was worth it." told to them immediately after.

Biden will have Afghan Civilian blood on his hands. The Tabliban are already executing Afghan Soldiers.

I do not care.



*And do people really think things would be different there if Trump was still in office? We were pulling out. Let them kill each other.

Time for an update of that old Vietnam era joke...

"Afghan Army M4 for sale, never fired, only dropped once."

Cool. How will those fare against a nuke once Trump gets reinstalled/re-elected as President?

I’m sure Lloyd Austin made the final decision to leave functioning US military weaponry.

A tale as old as time. We effectively founded and funded the Taliban 40 years ago, because we have always had dogshit foreign policy.
