When America is allowing complete psychotics like Fibbin' Flounder to run around freely
rather than confining them to rubber rooms until they're humanely and lethally injected,
no further proof is needed that the Goths are at the gate.
This republic is on its way to becoming an historical footnote.
Nobody on either side of the aisle is making any effort to prevent that.

The GAO report is out…
Still waiting for someone to explain and take responsibility!
The final account of USA military equipment and cash left behind in Afghanistan per GAO Report, June 30, 2023 at 8:44:08 PM PDT
Thanks to the Government Accountability Office, we now have a clear picture of just how much U.S. military equipment has fallen into the hands of the Taliban, thanks to Joe Biden's bungled withdrawal from Afghanistan. Let's have a look...
· Aircraft:
The Taliban now ranks #26 in the world in total military aircraft, thanks to us leaving behind
208 planes and helicopters:
110 helicopters
60 transport/cargo planes
20 light attack planes
18 intelligence/surveillance planes
· Vehicles:
You've probably seen the footage of the Taliban riding around in our humvees.
We left a total of 75,898 vehicles:
42,604 tactical vehicles
22,174 Humvees
8,998 medium tactical vehicles
1,005 recovery vehicles
928 mine-resistant vehicles
189 armored tanks
· Weapons:
Get ready for this...
599,690 of our weapons are now in the hands of the Taliban:
358,530 rifles
126,295 pistols
64,363 machine guns
25,327 grenade launchers
12,692 shotguns
9,877 RPGs
2,606 howitzers
And you can throw in a couple thousand night-vision goggles, surveillance drones, and communication devices on that list as well.
Price tag: In total, it adds up to nearly
$84 Billion dollars in tax-payer-funded U.S. military equipment.

Agents of the FBI,
aka Fucking Bunch of Idiots,
have cushy government jobs with good pensions and benefits.
They can't be bothered to be political.
They just do their jobs to protect their own status,
and that means that they're not really all idiots at all.

Eventually Americans will be killed with the American equipment that Bungling Joe left behind.

What a waste.
What the Taliban really appeared to need was some soap.

Only a drugged-out clueless anti-American dumbass believes the United States military left behind any of their equipment for the enemy to use.

Okay, what did the US leave all the usable equipment (well a good portion of it usable) behind for? Give us your reason(s) for it being left behind.

It's in the link, Terry.
Anyone who worked with nukes would not only know 1) the difference between equipment given/sold to another nation and equipment belonging the United States of America and 2) the technical support and expertise necessary to maintain that equipment. As the link noted, the US either brought out all of our equipment or destroyed it.
Sure the Taliban took a lot of ammo and rifles from the Afghan government, but all those high tech aircraft, radar systems and other equipment that were supported and maintained by US contractors didn't last long.
Anyone who has ever maintained a high tech system, be it a nuclear submarine or an aircraft, would know how often they need to be maintained and the supply network necessary to keep them going. Nutjobs, liars and foreign agents, not so much.

That's all a dodge to my question. Why was it all left behind?
Taliban have learned to use some US helicopters, planes left in Afghanistan, watchdog says
The stuff they can't use was likely on the market weeks after we pulled out. This was just another of many f'ups in the administration. We have very weak military leaders. Miley is one of the worst. Keeping an airbase position right between Iran and China seems like a good idea to me.
