Taliban has some serious Hardware

[Blue Heeler]

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?

The Biden administration gifted the Taliban over 10,000 grenades from a variety of countries.

 

[Shoot Summ]

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.

Best would have been to take them away, move them to another close country that is an ally, not just leave our **** there, working or not.

This makes me retch, a few decades ago we were a strong nation with resolve but now we are weak and impotent thanks to the politicians. They should be run out of Washington.

They were left for the local military we trained for years to use against the taliban in Afghanistan after we left.
That military folded like a stack of playing cards just like the South Vietnamese army did after we left, leaving the weapons for the enemy.

And that’s, the rest of the story.

I believe Biteme's withdrawal is tantamount to aiding and abetting an enemy. Treason at it's most blatant.

And ANYONE who doesn’t need adult supervision to use a spoon knew the Afghan army would piss backwards and run without US over watch.

I’m just pissed that the Taliban got the blingin wide white side wall tires and our guys didn’t. How can that happen?

Hell, I’m pissed that Brandon left them a bunch of shiny new M4 carbines and I can’t even buy one legally.
