Yes, it’s obscene. But my question and something I’ve not heard discussed is the following.
Was this equipment, weapons and ammunition actually abandoned by US forces or was it materials given to equip the Afghan Government and “Army”?
Same outcome but somewhat different focus of responsibility.
It was mainly the army and various police forces, at least to my understanding. The ones who actually switched sides to the taliban probably just kept what they had in hand. I guess Russia has a place to send all that cheap steel case 5.56 after the brass is shot up now that its not going to the US civilian market.
