We left an arsenal behind.

Partial quote from the U.S. Code.

FOX news actually had Admiral Kirby, Pentagon spokesman, on this morning. Dana Perino pressed him on whether we left military working dogs behind as some reports have suggested.

Kirby feigned ignorance, which he's good at. I hope that's not true, those dogs are like brothers to their handlers and save a lot of lives.

I am so sad to hear that, I am sure that is true .... they left everything else behind.

If Biden left those dogs behind, my hatred for him will become personal.

Withdrawal? Sounds more like a hurried retreat.

Same what a dumpster fire

Hurried retreat? Sounds more like purposefully arming terrorists.

And many American citizens

Too many infact

Great meme, updated.

One minor footnote is that the Mi-17 is a Russian chopper. The result, of course, is the same, Taliban has 33 Mi-17s (plus everything else listed here) that they should not have.

Crap, I hit "Post Comment" too soon.

The point is that Biden screwed up the entire order of march. It should have been 1) evacuate all U.S. citizens and Afghans that rated evacuation 2) remove the equipment or disable it so that it can no longer be used and then 3) withdraw the troops.

Imagine for a moment that list is accurate 100% Then try to think like a rational person using logic.

1. How much of this list is comprised of hardware that was sold to the Afganistan government. If it was sold to them it was no longer U.S Property

2. How much of this list was left behind in factual working condition?

3. Who among the Taliban and Afganistan people can be trusted to upkeep and retain spare parts for the items listed

4. How much of this left behind hardware will be destroyed when the power vaccum erupts and years of civil war breaks out again.Just like when Russia got their asses kicked and left

Perhaps Americans would be more agreeble with each other if they simply took the time to think rationally and logically about things.

Rather than fake outrage, hypocrisy and double standards that both parties rely on to divide it

Also, why don't you try to think like a rational person using logic? Take a look at the source for the list. SIGAR is under Biden's administration. They're the ones putting out these facts, so square yourself with that.

Oh your one them lol Someone who wants to post and rant without being called out or challenged lolol

*you're - there, fixed that for you

No, I've already owned you with the fact that these numbers come from Biden's administration.

I do owe you a more detailed explanation than I could provide typing on my phone. Now that I'm on my computer I can go into detail where we disagree:

"Imagine for a moment that list is accurate 100%" - I don't have to "imagine" that the list is accurate 100%, the list comes from SIGAR, a U.S. Government Agency. GAO has similar numbers. Unless you provide alternate data from a credible source then score one for me.

"1. How much of this list is comprised of hardware that was sold to the Afganistan [sic] government. If it was sold to them it was no longer U.S Property" - So? The Afghanistan (see how that's spelled when spelled correctly?) government that the equipment MIGHT have been sold to is no more. The Taliban is the Afghanistan government and they didn't buy the equipment. Furthermore, at the end of the day the U.S. military has two missions - kill people and break things. We have every right to destroy what ever we want to prevent it from being used against us. A boot private in the Marine Corps is trained on how to use incendiary grenades. One each would have taken care of the vehicles, artillery pieces, and aircraft. They should have removed the bolts from the small arms and just smashed any electronic devices. OWNERSHIP OF THE EQUIPMENT HAS ABSOLUTELY NO BEARING ON THIS ARGUMENT. Score another one for me.

"2. How much of this list was left behind in factual working condition?" - See my entry above, I agree that it's OK to leave equipment if it cannot be used. All sources that I've seen, however, show that is not the case. Look at how many GI Abduls are carrying American made weapons, having upgraded from the AK-47. Again, unless you provide alternate data from a credible source then score one for me.

"3. Who among the Taliban and Afganistan [sic] people can be trusted to upkeep and retain spare parts for the items listed" - We had a saying in the Marine Corps regarding things like aircraft "It takes a college degree to fly it and a high school education to fix it". If I've got 33 Blackhawks then I've got 17 operational ones and 16 hangar queens for parts. Beyond that all you really need is duct tape and WD40. (continued)

(continued from above) The real value in some of some of these items is in the fact that they can be sold to enemies of the U.S. to get our military secrets. Again, unless you provide alternate data from a credible source then score one for me.

4. How much of this left behind hardware will be destroyed when the power vaccum [sic] erupts and years of civil war breaks out again.Just [sic] like when Russia got their asses kicked and left" - Pure supposition, score one for me

Happy?

Why don’t you “laugh out loud out loud” some where else?

Right? I totally owned him with FACTS not supposition and that's all that he has?

*them, not him, I forgot that "Our" is literally a couple, two people living in wedded bliss. Or, two personalities in one brain.

Why are you spamming me with your bs and not who_am_i who originally posted the list?

Remember when Joe NMP said that we wouldn't see in Afghanistan what we saw in Vietnam?

He was right - in Vietnam we didn't leave our helicopters behind for the enemy and when there was no more room on the ships the helicopters got thrown overboard.

*upvoted! Damn you autcorrect!

it makes you think this was orchestrated by the dems
