Typical, we leave hardware every time, too expensive to transport it back and try to deal with it, easier just to buy new stuff. US Government has no accountability for spending.
Yeah, but wouldn't a well placed hand grenade in the cabs/cockpits and maybe a 50cal to the engine block have made it MUCH harder to put on this parade?

Just one sortie for a pair of B2 could have repaired that mistake

A nice built-in self-destruct mechanism would be nice.

Always great for a country to come in and leave a bunch of trashed out immovable vehicles sitting around. Not arguing that it was right to leave them, not arguing that it isn't awful to see them deployed for bad intent. But I would be pissed if someone left a couple of those sitting on my property with no way to move them. That isn't an item you hook a Tacoma up to and drag around. I don't know the answer, but I do know the flagrant waste of tax dollars is aggravating to see.

You think the Taliban is “pissed” that Biden/Harris “gifted” them military equipment?

The point is that Biden and his caregivers hosed up the withdrawal where 13 US Marines died, another 40+ were seriously wounded and the Taliban got over $7b in military equipment.

Yeah … shame on our government for leaving Islamist weapons and some (but not all) vehicles that needed some repair. Hard for anyone in the Taliban to get “Yard of the Month” with a broken down Humvee in their front yard.
