“NBC reported that the US military is conducting one to five strikes a day, typically with drones, with most of the airstrikes intended to destroy equipment,“
Wow... Rolling Thunder III in effect! /s
Ahhhh, why the F did we wait until NOW? That should have happened after the last guy turned out the lights.
So not only did we pay top dollar for the equipment we gave them, we are now paying for the ordnance and delivery systems to destroy them. A boon for the defense industry, and total abuse of tax payers. Only in America.
It would have been wise to watch an old film about what the US forces did, when kicked out of France but DeGaulle.
No equipment, no buildings, no aircraft, no runways.
All were demolished or damaged beyond repair.
What an absolute cluster mess. It is what we can expect from the likes of Gen. Milley. We’re in a bad way.
Isn’t there a Field Manual that goes into great detail on how to destroy every piece of equipment before abandoning it?
We didn’t “capture” any USD military equipment or weapons, we bought them fair and square, see Hunter Biden he handled the sale.
The Taliban
He made the same boner mistake Obama did by announcing in advance the date the US would be pulling out of Afghanistan so the enemy, the Taliban, would know when to start their offensive.
What A Phuquing Idiot. Why not just give them engraved invitations?
Deciding to pull out is one thing, but announcing to the enemy your strategic plans AND the date certain, is a military blunder.
This is why you don't have an amateur calling the shots.
Debate all you want about was right right to stay or go, I want to know why we didn't take our equipment with us when we left or put it in a pile and blow it up with the mother of all bombs.
Either Military Intelligence is an oxymoron or this is something sinister.
Befor and After:
Recognize this iconography?
(I posted the comments above here yesterday:)
Rep. Matt Gaetz: Biden is right to get the hell out of Afghanistan
So, Biden is sending thousands of troops back into Afghanistan after withdrawing them. We are also conducting airstrikes.
We are NOT withdrawing from Afghanistan. This 20-year war will become a Hundred Years War.
So how much embezzlement with this give cover for?
Queue Jon Lovitz: “Ya’ we gave them 500 tanks full of money to bribe locals and then we had to destroy them all! Nothing but pieces left, money all burned, honest! Ya’ that’s the ticket!”
