al Qaeda attacked the Pentagon and WTC on 911,
and now the Pentagon does their bidding in Libya
and Egypt and Syria and a few dozen other places
as the DO"J" protects them with lawyers and weapons.
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same,
or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children
and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
President Ronald Reagan
Those that loose wars, loose their toys to the enemy. Just the way it is.
Obama is a looser.
So, tell me again why we are in debt as a nation again?
You could send a lot of UPS for $7 billion...
Sportsman's Guide could sell this stuff at a profit in six months.
Give it all to India.
Just an FYI, we had a prototype of a (sorta secret) thing over there, and when it was time to come back it took 5 or 6 guys three weeks to decontaminate it of the native crud.
It’s pretty labor intensive, but we don’t want Islamic kudzu or something coming back.
Why don’t they melt the equipment down and use the metal to erect giant Christian crosses, Stars of David, and Buddha statues as a memorial to the Americans who died there? A giant statue of Porky the Pig would also be a nice gesture.
“Waste not....want not”.
The Israelis never throw anything away. I think they probably still have David’s sling in an armory somewhere. Can you put snow plows on those trucks in Afghanistan? There are uses.
Hey! That’s OUR stuff! We, the American taxpayers, bought it and paid for it. It should be brought back and given/sold to American citizens.
But this kind of waste is nothing new. After WWII, tons and billions of dollars worth of stuff were abandoned, or worse, dumped into the sea, in all theaters.
Put it on EBay or Craigslist.....as-is where is, buyer must pick up. No refunds.
"Quandary"?? BS.
FREE candy and goodies are purposely being left behind and arming certain Muzzies and Warlords. Meanwhile, The Regime cackles at the notion that the US-Taxpayer is likely subsidized arming insurgents while draining our own piggy bank.
If anyone knows, please explain why hundreds of billions in assets have and still being wasted in Afghanistan again. I mean besides also subsidizing the "military-industrial complex."
And this was... PREDICTABLE.
Wonder where it will all go? I wonder.... sure.
