The official added, "We are still working to determine if all of the equipment in the pictures was lost during recent operations or at some other time in the past."

Of course they have it. Stupid, left it laying around and didn’t think it important enough to protect.

Or he’s smart and wanted ISIS to have it. I pick that one.

A few boxes of ammo and a handful of fanny packs?

If that’s all they’ve got, they should be embarrassed, not we.

Back in the day if you couldn’t account for personal equipment
including rifle you had to buy it. No2 it almost seems they are encouraged to leave behind for the enemy. Getting killed by our own equipment is more than tragic; just another 0 legacy to take down our Republic....precoffee comment.

Best what to draw their fire and use up those missiles is to have drones expose themselves

Hillary (Obama) own ISIS and some of the messages show both have a hand in buying oil and selling weapons to ISIS via French company; and the reports of US personnel meeting with ISIS delivering equipment as well.

“We are still working to determine if all of the equipment in the pictures was lost during recent operations or at some other time in the past.”.....

Check the “Return to sender” address on the carton’s, most likely there will also be a tag on the box that says, “Sent to you by the good people of America”.
