A United States Army soldier, who recently separated from the service, spoke out against the Biden administration and claimed he was ordered pay for military gear that he was forced to leave behind during the chaotic and deadly Afghanistan withdrawal in 2021.
According to Newsweek, the former soldier shared his story Monday on TikTok, claiming that it was the official gear turn-in day after completing roughly four years of active duty service in the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division. The soldier, who is known as “Brock” on TikTok, said the gear turn-in process made him want to “holler,” “scream,” and “yell.”
While the soldier’s initial TikTok video had been removed from the social media platform by Tuesday morning, the video remained on other platforms, including a post on X, formerly Twitter, by the conservative account “Libs of TikTok.”
“Two years ago, my unit was deployed to Afghanistan for the Afghanistan withdrawal,” the soldier stated in the video. “We spent a few weeks over there. It was hectic, it was chaotic, it was disgusting, and it made me very disappointed in our government. Today, I’m reminded how disappointed I am in our government.”

How many billions of dollars of equipment did Biden order left behind in Afghanistan? Is this Biden's plan to pay for the equipment left behind? Force the soldiers, Marines, and airmen to pay for it?
And the Army wonders why they can't meet their recruitment goals.
Clearing your TA-50 thru CIF(?) was a bitch when things worked normally. Throw in the Afghanistan debacle and can imagine how FUBAR the paperwork is?
Wow, hope none of the guy were part of a tank unit.
Wait…X was formally known as Twitter? First I’ve heard of it! /s
Imagine getting a bill for $2.7 million for an MRAP?
Yeah, that would suck
Spend 300K to 500K training a soldier and then piss him off for his kit.
It’s the Army way.
He needs to contact his local VFW
It would have helped his cause if he would have mentioned his brigade and company he was assigned to.
As far as the letter he claims to have received detailing what he owes, it's meaningless until he posts its entirety with the DOD letterhead.........
The guy is a fake.......

I’m not a big Trump supporter but will someone please explain how he will destroy democracy. It seems that Biden is much more likely to do that.
I can no longer recommend anyone enlisting the armed forces, not until the trash has been taken out and they get back to some semblance of normal operations.
Yes I did and I didn't see anything on that partial document that indicated that it was issued by the DOD.
Show me the entire document with the DOD letter head and a copy of his DD-214, then maybe we can have a conversation.
Until that happens, he's nothing but a fake soldier to me.........
I don’t understand. I have zero problems with the VA.
For some people, Jesus Christ himself could show himself in front of their face, and they still wouldn’t believe it.
I think you are on the wrong thread, but it’s hyperbole and rhetoric to get the low information voters to the polls.
“For some people, Jesus Christ himself could show himself in front of their face, and they still wouldn’t believe it.”
For Jesus Christ this was literally true. Even Thomas had his doubts and he should have known better.
I was told to turn in my TA-50 901A gear first, after getting separation papers. Every piece had to be accounted for. This was in October of 1967 Germany.
