>>A Taliban commander told Sky News that his fighters had taken a cache of weapons from Afghan security personnel that included 70 sniper rifles, 900 guns, 30 Humvees, 20 pickup trucks and 15 armored vehicles.

All that sand and no one bothered to put it in the gastanks?

When I was in the army, we were trained to destroy equipment that would be left behind.

However, if some well hidden tracking devices were on the equipment, the military could find where the Taliban is located. After listening to the current crowd of military leaders, winning would not be a priority.
