So is this a "straw purchase"?

Yup, to sad to even talk about, We all should thank 8 yrs of unregulated spending under bush 8 yrs under osama oops Obama..for all this mess, and all that is just a pin prick of what is really over there 100's of millions of gallons of diesel/aviation fuel, 10's of thousands of 60/80 kw front line generators.. enough spare parts to last them for a hundred years, we fixed and then upgrade their hydo electric dam, so now they have 24/7 power. So much lumber that we could end the building shortage. The list goes on and on and on and on..6.4 trillion, more like 8 or 10 trillion. When this clusterfck is finally put to bed.

Being aware of what happened in Afghanistan will just rile me up even further when our Gov't actively tries to violate our 2A rights.

It's ironic, they gave Taliban firearms, weapons, artillery, vehicles, aircraft, US dollars, all paid for by us and our great-grandchildren (from the perspective of a 40something) and the US Gov't will be coming after us for our rights....

My response to....
-more background checks....."yeah but the Taliban"
-more firearm regulations..... "yeah but the Taliban"
-bans on certain types of firearms..... "yeah but the Taliban"
-more taxes...... "go get that money back from the Taliban"

While the Taliban are now better armed than at any time in the last 20 years, the biggest tragedy/disgrace is the people we left in the lurch. And it is private teams of warriors that are doing what the government wouldn't do...

At leasst some equipment was destroyed/damaged before leaving. Taliban feels betrayed. Boo-hoo.

 

[teflon6string]

As long as we couldn't recover our equipment, why wasn't ALL of it completely destroyed where it sat?

As long as we couldn't recover our equipment, why wasn't ALL of it completely destroyed where it sat?

Because some of it, while in the custody of ANA, was left intact as the ANA fled.

 

[teflon6string]

Damn shame that.

 

[Dungannon]

Now the administration is deleting previous audits and reports online that identified equipment and training provided to Afghanistan. While the reports don't identify people [with the exception of one picture], the administration is claiming they took this info offline [shortly after the news media showed an interest] in order to protect individuals.

Afghan special forces and Northern Alliance.
They are going to need supplies and they are in a canyon with one way in/out.
Maybe neighboring Tajikistan who's friendly with the NA will make some air drops ?
