That’s “our” equipment folks. This goes to show you that they could give two sh!ts about the taxpayer.

Or it could be the fact the equipment is wore out and it would cost more to move it than its worth.

Bringing a lot of that stuff back costs more than it's worth. Therefore, assuming it won't be used against us, it's better to leave it there. After WWII, perfectly good fighters stationed on remote bases were bulldozed in place.

Even with the Alaska pipeline, perfectly good heavy equipment hauled up there at great expense was sold for sub-scrap value because bringing it back to the lower 48 wasn't cost effective.

Yeh man We foot the bill AGAIN. The Iraqi’s should pony up or at least give us some free oil. Then the Rats would be partially right about us getting the oil but as of now they remain the deceitful liars about the Iraqi war.
