This is not incompetence. Obama did the same thing for ISIS. They became the best equipped army in the Middle East and immediately took control of 2/3 of Iraq. Sound familiar?

It is a tragedy. I really feel sorry for the families of the dead who died, apparently unnecessarily, in the war, and for the wounded and their families came home with their lives changed irrevocably.

Satan has a special place reserved for Joseph Biden.

Biden learned from his former boss how to arm insurgeants. Be it Iran, Alqueda, Isis, Mexican cartels, Chicago Street gangs or the tollybon.

Q: Why’d we leave it all there?

A: Too hard to move all that large equipment.

If we had a strong military we built up in Afghanistan, we could've left that equipment and munitions with them to fight with. But realistically, we should have moved all of that equipment back to a rear theater somewhere because we could always guaranty using it again.

Absent that, we should have booby trapped all of the important and critical armaments and equipment to blow up after(or before) we left.

But to just leave it for the Taliban (and in turn for ISIS) because we were in a hurry to meet some artificial calendar deadline, is the height of stupidity.

So stupid in fact, that it makes you wonder whether the military industrial complex didn't want it that way so they could provide all new equipment in the next war.

After all, that's how the ball bounces.

An exquisite irony here is that our Government doesn’t even blink at the prospect of leaving billions of dollars worth of deadly weapons, paid for by our taxes, in the hands of terrorists who may yet use them against our military and/our own citizens. And yet this same Government wants to ban 9mm pistols for its own citizens.

I brought this question up over lunch:

So HOW MUCH does a pound of C4 cost?

That there was NO ATTEMPT to disable or destroy this materiel is telling.

As well, I haven’t seen a single mention of a ‘commission’ to investigate this disastrous fiasco...

600,000 small arms for 2500 troops? That’s only 240 weapons per soldier.
Hell I think a more appropriate ratio would be 300 to one.

With Biden, the Taleban are better off today than they were 20 years ago when they were deemed a threat...

The Obama communist subsidy machine continues...

isn’t it great that our woke military has so much money and equipment that they can leave behind or lose enough weapons to outfit an entire country?

How many people will be killed by the stockpile of what Biden ‘left behind’.

We need to always remind them the next time they come after our weapons.

THEY ARMED A SWOREN ENEMY TO THE UNITED STATES.
AND BROUGHT THE MILIANTS TO OUR LAND

LEFT OURS TO DIE

NEVER FORGET

May history some how manage to record the truth.

A very different, and likely largely accurate, account of the whole situation:
