The Taliban marked the third anniversary of its return to power on Wednesday with a celebration at Bagram Air Base, a former U.S. military stronghold in Afghanistan.
...
The parade also showcased military equipment left behind by U.S. and NATO forces, including helicopters, Humvees, and tanks.
Troops marched with an array of weaponry, and a motorcycle unit displayed the Taliban flag.
In Kabul, pickup trucks filled with men celebrated the takeover, some posing with rifles, while in Helmand province, men carried yellow canisters to symbolize explosives used in past conflicts.
Wednesday was declared a national holiday by the Taliban.

Well, it’s a good thing all of that military equipment was disabled before it was abandoned. Maybe we should have done more than just disconnect the batteries?

Every working piece of U.S. military equipment left for the Taliban is evidence that Traitojoe and his kakistocrats gave aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States.

Was Biden the parade marshal? How appropriate would that be!

Having the Taliban all in one place and out in the open sounds like an opportunity to me.

If I recall correctly, in addition to all the equipment, they left the dogs behind. Grrrrr....

Yes, the dogs were let out of their crates to be “free”, meaning starve, be shot, eaten, kicked etc.

Was Biden the parade marshal?He’d like to send DJT. “Yeah...you’ll sit on top of the back seat of a convertible and wave to the crowd as you’re driven slowly past them. What? Oh, yeah...perfectly safe. The Secret Service cleared it.”
