How Many Guns Did the U.S. Lose Track of in Iraq and Afghanistan? Hundreds of Thousands.

'In one of many examples, a 2007 Government Accountability Office report found that 110,000 Kalashnikov assault rifles and 80,000 pistols bought by the United States for Iraq’s security forces could not be accounted for — more than one firearm for every member of the entire American military force in Iraq at any time during the war. Those documented lapses of accountability were before entire Iraqi divisions simply vanished from the battlefield, as four of them did after the Islamic State seized Mosul and Tikrit in 2014, according to a 2015 Army budget request to buy more firearms for the Iraqi forces to replace what was lost.'

Well, when you have the right Muslim appointed by his superior who is seeking approval from his superiors for openness to diversity, then things like that can happen easily.

2007 was Bush’s fault.
