We don’t bring vehicles back any more, anyway. Look at what ISIS found in the used camel lot...
Ummm.... no.
The Iraqis had a separate MRAP truck program with their own oil money — AKA it was corrupt as all heck.
All the MRAPS given to the local police were over seas and came back.
All the up armored 2.5 ton, 5-ton and 10-ton military logistical trucks came back and are either in depots awaiting rebuild or in Federal USMC/Army Reserves or Army National Guard outfits.
The US Army kept and brought back the late production up-armored Humvees as well as late production heavy duty suspension Humvee’s with separate up-armor kits.
Most of what we left behind in Iraq — and later seized by ISIS — were older up-armored and rebuilt in Kuwait by KBR or Dyncorp Humvees that were not as good as Humvees we already had in the National Guard, plus US Agency for International Development light trucks.
From what I understood from my late and dearly departed dad, a WWII vet who served in the SPT, the US Army abandoned a lot of jeeps and other vehicles on some South Pacific islands near and at the end of the war as it was just not economical to ship them all back home. Of course those islands had been completely liberated and secured from the Japanese and were not likely to fall into enemy hands.
My dad also told me he saw pallets of bags of sugar and flour and other food supplies and even barrels gasoline being dumped into the Pacific Ocean from the sides of Naval supply ships as they had more than they needed and many of the supply depots were full. But it did pi$$ off my dad when he read letters from home from his family about ration coupons and shortages. But then again, shipping these excess supplies back home would not only be not economical or feasible, but some items would spoil or be unusable even if they were shipped back to the US.
