Let's talk about Afghanistan

Post by RiverguyVT »

The Defense Department's Office of Inspector General said the United States left an estimated $7.12 billion in military equipment when it withdrew from Afghanistan last year.

Because we all know in advance what other posters are thinking and what they know or don't know, I'll suggest that brother UWSMitt is going to try to tell me that all Biden's handlers had left behind were typewriters and filing cabinets.
:lol: :lol: :lol:
$7 billions worth.
(As an aside, some are reporting that the new IRS boondoggle money will be used to buy back all those typewriters from the Afghanis Taliban, putting the Afghanis Taliban in a cash-flush position for future terror activity).
The military left behind nearly 316,260 small arms weapons — including sniper rifles, machine guns, and grenade launchers — worth up to $511.8 million.
The report also indicated the U.S. also lost $923.3 million worth of military aircraft and $294.6 million in aircraft munitions. The military reportedly decommissioned "some" of the aircraft, rendering them unusable.
So, Biden's handlers have made Afghanistan the Taliban one of the world's top military powers overnight. Think on that.

"What I understand is [the report] has been kicked back down to those that wrote it because of some sort of concern that I don't know exactly what the concerns are. But I can tell you that lessons learned and after-action reviews save lives. And we're not seeing that right now,"
Biden's handlers' Vietnam-ized us.

No telling how many US citizens are still stuck there. We do know that private operations have evacuated many many more than the official US Biden-handler position said were even there.
So I put (the dead dog) on her doorstep!
Salute the Marines
