Surprised cnn hasn't revised the info to claim nerf guns were left behind along with some Barbie corvettes. Even sadder is that some people are just fine with these traitorous assclowns being in charge.

I think the total value was in the 80-85 billion range.
To: rktman
I thought it was way higher than that?...

The only positive thing to this story is that most of the aircraft and vehicles we left behind were older versions that we would have scrapped anyway if we had kept them. None of our cutting edge top of the line equipment was given to the Afghan government.

It would not surprise me if Joe Biden got a 10% kickback from the Taliban - “for the Big Guy”.

This is exhibit one for the dishonorable discharge of every woke, tranny-, faggot-, green new deal-loving general in our military.

I worked with some guys who were contractors and went to the Middle East various times to do maintenance on military equipment. They had numerous amusing stories about the mechanical backwardness and carelessness and laziness of the people there. I expect much of the equipment will be unusable soon if it isn’t already.

I think the total value was in the 80-85 billion range. It was.
Now $7B ??
By the time the midterms are here, it will be less that 1 Billion.

"CNN, which obtained the report..."
One of the many propagandists/deflection arms of this administration, and IT'S defense dept.
...like everything else, good luck finding an unbiased/uncontrolled reporting on this...or any other act of sedition/corruption.

Almost all the equipment was made for counterinsurgency. The worst loss I think were the helicopters.

There were many stories about the loss of lots of the latest versions of NODs and other night fighting equipment. A good set of Gen III NOD binoculars can run around $10K each.

Or that we gained billions in the withdraw. π
To: RckyRaCoCo
Ah, since I didn't agree with the amount I never read any further than the headline. π
Why do sites like Townhall use anything coming from CNN, unless they were trashing the information. But their headline gives no indication that is the case. Is Spencer Brown just an idiot, oe is the article actually worth reading? π
To: rktman
story is a little whacked.
We didn't leave it there. The Afghans gave it up
We gave the equipment to the Afghans.
When we left we were supposed to take it back with us ? How does that work ?
especially when we expected the Afghans to step up and take charge of their own country ?

I am willing to bet that a sizable portion of that night vision gear was unserviceable. They have no way to get the image intensifier tubes. Almost certainly not our most up to date model either.

I dont know, I was just told it was the latest stuff. Why would they need more intensifier tubes if they were already packaged up and in store rooms over there for issue as needed?
