Most will fall into disrepair quickly.

I'm more concerned about any tech advancements other governments could get their hands on. I like to believe we didn't leave anything other countries (China) don't already have the means to do.

Odds they have any clue how to operate that drone?

I'm sure they can figure out the humvees.



I'm sure Russia and China will buy it off of them and reverse engineer the shite out of it.

How is this possible?



Bc we let them have it.....in other words...we pulled the troops out but left all our weapons, vehicles and equipment.

How many catalytic converters do you think they could get off those?

If we were smart, they'd all be bugged with either GPS tracker or booby trapped with explosives that can be remote detonated from a satellite when the jihadists take the equipment back to their bases.

That's not the same as leaving them for the enemy

I bet they won’t even run. If they do, we know exactly where they are. Not a huge deal. It’s a waste of money, but not at all dangerous

Very little progress? We had complete military control over it. The failure was that we tried to make soldiers nation builders.

I see I'm being downvoted for this. Anyone care to rebut that statement?

love how we are so flush with cash that we just leave untold millions of dollars of shite just laying around even though we had more than adequate time to plan a competent withdrawal that allowed for taking that shite with us.



If we did that then there would be less demand for new equipment from defense contractors who buy off those in charge of making these decisions

Taliban will drive them until they run out of diesel and then roll them in the ditch. They will probably crash a half of dozen of the drones until someone learns to fly them.

Yes. 20 years and look how long it took the Taliban to take it back over.

Great job, America!
