I guarantee we didn’t leave stingers. Don’t ask how I know, just trust that even the deep state doesn’t want proliferation of Gen IV MANPADS.

“...today’s DemoNaziCommie party bosses are in league with, aiding and abetting and funding and “legitimizing” the IslamoNazi terrorist gangs all around the world...”

Without a doubt.
But what’s that terrible, awful stench I’m smelling in all of this?
Hmmmm....I’ve smelled it before somewhere...where was it?
Oh Yes!!!! I remember now.....Obama!!!!!
We’re into our 3rd term of that POS.

Taliban doesn’t need stingers. They have AA and can mortar the runways to be unusable. Withe all those weapons, all they have to do is stand off 500 yards and fire on landing aircraft with full auto weapons.

It is cowardice. 90+% of the ANA were/ are cowards. That lieutenant you mentioned didn’t have any soldiers left to destroy anything.

For years, the ANA would cry for help and hide until we showed up to help.

This whole situation was entirely predictable. It just happened much faster than even I thought. I gave it six months... but the only thing slowing down the Taliban are bathroom breaks and stopping to refuel.

yes.
we are in the third term of Obama/SorozNazi.
SorozNazi and his evil gang are still pulling the strings,
Obama and Biden are mere puppets

that’s why it feels the same. it is the same.

For an administration that touts gun control as a central theme, they sure didn’t practice it Afghanistan.

Not surprised, not one little bit.

The Globalists love the Taliban and they hate America, and unfortunately Joe does what they say and the MSM props him up.

Also, why do you think this stingers given to the Mujahideen were never used on us?

It’s almost like they need something to shoot them and we gave them a very limited supply with a short shelf life.......

I’m assuming that the Afghan Army was fully equipped - tons of heavy and light weapons, ammunition, explosives, electronics, etc.

The fleeing Afghan soldiers probably grabbed all the valuable small stuff they could carry, but left the big stuff.

I remember reading during the fall of the Soviet Union, the police nabbed some guy who was towing a jet fighter off a Soviet airbase.

Well, maybe Gen. Milley ordered a bunch there last month.

As JCS Chairman, General Milley is outside the chain of command, and serves as an advisor. The President, through the Secretary of Defense, directs the 11 unified combatant commands. Afghanistan and most of Southwest Asia is the area of US Central Command, which is presently led by General Frank McKenzie, USMC.

I suspect these weapons were supplied to the "Afghan Army" which disintegrated after the American units left. In other words, it wasn't an American armory - but the result is the same. This happens every time we attempt to build anything that the intended recipients don't want. Once the experiment collapses, all the loot ends up in the hands of our former enemies.

Satan loves war for the bloodshed; Deep State loves war for the profits. They win, while we lose lives and treasure.

Yeah. How difficult can it be to destroy an M4 receiver with a power tool? Or if one's in a hurry, at least pull the bolt? Less than a minute?

Stacks like those - easiest thing in the world to deactivate - rig about ten or twenty thermite grenades and maybe a wee bit of gasoline. Done in no time.

Or, you could trade a cache for your life and your family. Desperate times.

Pictures of all those rifles and only one of them seemed to have ammo around it. Wait until they see the price of ammunition and how little there is.

This should make IFF (Identify Friend or Foe) very easy for the AC130 Gunships.
