They had that outdated junk flying around within weeks after we left it. Pretty impressive

Trump stopped all combat operations in Afghanistan, comrade


oh, so prior to the cessation they were only using the modern weapons that they returned with. Ok, I got it now. Thank you for convincing me that this is just one big ole overblown nothing burger.

Pure propaganda and I totally fell for it



quote:

“The Taliban now has more Black Hawk helicopters than 85% of the countries in the world,” Congressman Jim Banks, a veteran, lamented. “But it’s not just weapons. They have night vision goggles, body armor, and unbelievably, the Taliban now has biometric devices which have the fingerprints, eye scans and biographical information of all of the Afghans who helped us and were on our side over the last 20 years. There is no plan by the administration to get those weapons back. There is no plan to account for any of this equipment or these weapons.”

And it was a functional helicopter that helped facilitate the evacuation of Saigon before it was pushed off the side of a carrier. This image was posted in reply to the comment above that what was left behind in Afghanistan was mostly useless junk.

So we broke shite rather than bringing it back home while we had the chance. We are not talking about sabotaging equipment behind enemy lines here. It just showcases how inept this administration is.



No it doesn't. They aren't inept, they are evil. They left it behind on purpose and that purpose isn't in your best interest!

The fire control and gun systems were removed. Scrap metal


So Biden polluted underprivileged Afghanistan with $7billion worth of cancerous scrap metal?

Did I do that correctly?

It's the comm gear and intel equipment that was left that really mattered. And I don't think it was left by accident.

Our politicians love to fund wars even if our enemies are getting the goods. It should make everyone wonder why.

How else would they justify the need for buying a shitload of new stuff from defense constractors? Massive kickback scheme. Abandon military equipment, buy new stuff, contractor gets big order, contractor "donates" large sums to a PAC. Congressman buys shares in the contractors company knowing they are getting a large buy order. Congressman lives like a king. Wash, rinse, repeat.
