I wonder where all our weapons went? Can you answer the question Neocons and progs?

1/2 were left in Afghanistan when JoeBama left it to fall like Saigon and the other 1/2 are letting out the smoke somewhere in Ukraine.

Since WHEN do the Dems give a rip about defending America anyway???

To be honest, ammunition has a shelf life. And anyone in he military knows, we'd do live fires just to get rid of ammunition, so we wouldn't have to turn it in. That said, the Ukrainians have blown way passed any inventory the was nearing expiration.

There are old weapon systems we could send them as well - but probably already have.

So yes, we're probably running low on munition.

At the end of the Gulf War, we were down to a week's worth of certain aerial munitions, when the fighting stopped. If the war had continued, we could not have sustained the bombing rates much longer.

Somehow, some of the weapons ended up in the hands of cartels.

"I wonder where all our weapons went? Can you answer the question Neocons and progs?"

I've brought up the fact on several threads, that by sending the majority of our stockpiled weapons to Ukraine, we've left ourselves vulnerable at home, especially in light of the fact that it would take time to get up to speed, to mass-produce the war machinery necessary if we were faced with an all-out war. Neocons claimed I didn't know what I was talking about. Frankly, I don't believe this country's manufacturers would ever cooperate, or fully organize, the way they did in WWII, in order to mass-produce enough military equipment to successfully support our troops in another World War. We won WWII because we had the will to provide by any means, what our troops needed to get the job done. That ain't happening today.
