How much would it have cost to ship all that back here?

/\

You forgot to answer how the ammo is “ worn out” too

Or was that just anothr
MUTINY milley
talking point.?

Who cares ?

Better that than leave anything of value .

Did you find any news about Ana fighting the jihad is with all that stuff we left them in any resistance movement ?

Or was that just another lame talking point with no basis in reality.

Are you really aircav ?

not sounding like any I’ve ever talked to.

Wheels have a final gear drive that must be replaced on a regular basis. Here is a pretty fair assessment:

Tires are expensive also.

Very interesting read. There were a few humvees in operation at a site where I used to work. They seemed like they’d be a fun “git ‘er done” type vehicle to own, especially if you had land where a serious 4wd vehicle could come in handy.

Never said you did, it was a question to your assertion it was okay to leave all that crap there cuz it was “ worn out “

You have dodged every question I’ve asked so far,

So far your conversational

zig zaging

is the only thing you’ve said so far that resembles any military training.

So , what ever, carry on.

I just stated some facts regarding some of the equipment over there for which I have some knowledge. You don’t have to cr@p yourself with rage. I never said it was a good thing the material was left there. We sold most of that material to the Afghan government, it technically was no longer ours however I agree that at least some of it should have been destroyed when it was apparent that government would fall. That is easier said than done however since it was not all sitting in one place and destroying it would have been pretty risky in some locations. Ask yourself this…..how many American lives were you willing to risk to make sure all that material was destroyed ???

Depends on where you are four wheeling. In sagebrush country it is problematic because the roads were cut for narrower vehicles. The Hummer having a wider track means that you’re driving on sagebrush or rocks that aren’t graded the whole time you’re out wheeling. That’s how I know how much tires cost!

Well that’s true — they do have a really wide track. They’re almost strange looking in their width when you see them up close.
