"Two years ago, my unit was deployed to Afghanistan for the Afghanistan withdrawal," said the soldier, who goes by "Brock" on TikTok and has the handle @the.michael.fam. "We spent a few weeks over there. It was hectic, it was chaotic, it was disgusting, and it made me very disappointed in our government. Today, I'm reminded how disappointed I am in our government.
He continued: "They want to charge me $500 to $1,000 for gear I was ordered to leave in Afghanistan two years ago because as the last two birds were sitting on the tarmac ready to leave, there wasn't any room for extra gear, extra weight. Therefore, we were told to leave it. Some lower-level dudes including myself were like, 'No, this stuff is expensive. I'm not leaving this. I'm gonna get charged for this when it's time to leave.'"
"But we can't cover $500 to $1,000 for a dude that left gear in Afghanistan—for a dude that left gear in a place you put me to begin with. The government is so stinking backwards right now, man. This administration's last priority is the American people, and inside of the American people their last priority is their soldiers, their airmen, their Marines, their Navy."
At the conclusion of his video, the ex-soldier showed a sheet of paper with costs attributed to his name, and the name on the sheet seemed to match his own. The total cost for the gear and other items/services was shown to be $3,561.26, but he did not divulge or specify what those costs were associated with.
He ended the video by thanking anyone who could help fund his gear return, adding that he thought his exit from the armed forces would be "bittersweet."
