So, the Biden Cabal shows Benghazi-Hillary how it’s really done.

I demand Equity!

I want my own taxpayer funded Super Tucano!

And a nice M249 SAW with 10,000 rounds!

Equity Now! Fourteenth Amendment and all that!

Twenty years ago it took 100 close air supported U.S. Special Forces troops to put the Taliban on a race to the borders. It would be a lot harder now.

Rather than destroying the equipment before leaving the country, Joe Biden decided to leave the nearly $85 billion worth of US military equipment to the Taliban.

So what he's saying that Biden should have taken all that equipment given to the Afghan military back from them and destroy it before we left? And that would have prevented the Taliban from taking over how exactly?

By that point it was clearly evident that the Afghan military was literally throwing down their weapons and running scared from the Taliban.

We should have grenaded every vehicle and aircraft before leaving .........................

Taliban are mostly Pashtun, and the Pashtuns (most especially the orthodox muslim types) have cousin-marriage rates similar to the worst parts of Pakistan.

Their collective IQ has got to be in the low 80s. I’d like to see them try to maintain and fly a helicopter.

The U.S. withdrawal ended about the first of July. I don't remember any reports of the Afghan army folding before then.

That night vision stuff alone bites this country immensely. Our forces own the night but this surrender has put the enemy on equal ground. The only good news is they lack the technical background to maintain all this stuff. The Chinese will help help them with that but I have little doubt these savages will turn on China eventually.

I would think this was incompetence, but this is how ISIS became the best equipped army in the middle east.

I wonder if I can get a steal of a deal on a Pilatus PC-12 in the near future?

Hate to say this, but we should BOMB THE HE11 out of all that 85 billion in weapons, etc.

I would be better than having the terrorists use it.

The American people are tired of our failed leaders and their empire games. The Uniparty view our blood as their currency and they spend it liberally for their own gain.

I’m guessing we trained quite a few Afghani Army guys to do just that. And now the Taliban will make them an offer they can’t refuse.
