Likely billions of dollars of American weapons and vehicles are now in the hands of the (Taliban) extremist group after the collapse of the Afghan government and army, with numerous videos and photos surfacing online showing Taliban members seizing the equipment.
Photos have circulated of Taliban members holding American M-4 carbines and M-16 rifles rather than AK-47s or AKMs. Other images and videos showed the Taliban surrounding U.S. Black Hawk helicopters and A-29 Super Tucano attack aircraft.
[snip] “As we watched the images coming out of Afghanistan as the Taliban retook the country, we were horrified to see U.S. equipment—including UH-60 Black Hawks—in the hands of the Taliban, (Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Bill Cassidy (R-La.) and two dozen other senators wrote) to Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin this week.
All according to plan.
our congress and senate should never have allowed these two people to run for any office let alone the highest offices in the land.

They don’t give a damn. They are happy to let the executive branch run wild with zero accountability. Congress doesn’t want to be responsible for anything.
Most of that equipment will be worthless to them.
Geez... did they just drop everything and run?
Its like the movie ‘apocalypse now’ when describing the Vietnamese military supposedly on our side - “Here’s brand new rifle- never been fired and only dropped once”
Since I am assuming they are all at Bagrum, a few well-placed Hellfires should resolve the issues before the Chinese and the Russians have a chance to fly them out.
Most of that equipment is worth a lot to China and they can sell it

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Assistant Democrats that enabled the Trojan horse “infrastructure” bill to clear the way for the America killing reconciliation bill that contains the amnesty they have spent their careers pursuing to give the Democrats a permanent majority.
“All according to plan”
It certainly appears that way...to me anyway
Obama is not a natural born citizen.
That’s where they failed.
Yup- According to one story I read, Biden sent tons and tons of equipment over there right before ordering the soldiers to leave
I don't want TEAM BIDEN impeached or any resignations. I WANT THEM ALL IMPRISONED BY U.S. NAVY SEALs.
“US Black Hawk Helicopters Captured by Taliban as ‘Horrified’ Senators Demand DOD Audit”
What did you expect, you worthless POS. After all, Potato-Head was your guy since Orange Man Bad. Enjoy the suck.
Damn democrat commies...
They are content to let the inmates run the assylum
The Chinese have had the specs and plans for all that stuff for years.
Maybe we can get a sequel to Black Hawk Down out of this debacle.
Any sane CIC would have intelligence locate as much U.S. weaponry, vehicles, and such, and have the military flatten (from the air) the areas where it’s being kept. Then finish getting all our people out and flatten Bagram air base, just for good measure.
Also, pretty sure this one isn't flying anywhere. Seems to be missing some parts.
Not saying it didn't happen. Just saying...
