Taliban show off captured US weapons

I can't understand why you think Jeeps and AR-15s give the Taliban too great an advantage over the US Army.

 

Your OP header is all wrong.

They've not captured weapons. They're gifted weapons, courtesy of Joe Biden.

 

How is your indignation over 46 US planes and aircraft abducted?

A large portion of the Afghan Air Force has ended up in neighboring Uzbekistan, after hundreds of Afghan service members used U.S. supplied planes and helicopters to flee the Taliban, U.S. officials said.
At least 46 US aircraft that crossed over Afghanistan’s border into Uzbekistan since last weekend, when the Taliban seized Kabul and the government collapsed, U.S. officials said. The planes and helicopters carried a total of 585 members of Afghan forces with them.

I think you're right

 

Because our Commander in Chief has no balls, out to lunch and feeble-minded.

 

Eight Days in Kabul: If you think this has a happy ending, you’re not paying attention.

“I would be hard pressed to outline a greater failure of the United States national security infrastructure – all of it – than what we are seeing now. We need to accept that fact right in front of our face and decide what we need to do to make a system that better serves our nation. The one we have today does not.”

Bugged out without evacuating civilians first, and the guy that wants background checks for Americans to buy guns, just turned over tons of machine guns to terrorists.

Ultimately it will be up to the boots to try to salvage the complete mess made by the suits.

Things to start preparing for:

August 31st is the Taliban’s requirement and their current stance is that it's a firm deadline.

Biden, who has gotten everything wrong, seems to think that global peer pressure will have an effect on the Taliban. He could prove to be as deluded on this point as everything else.

Sept 1 could dawn and we will have to face the fact that Biden has abandoned Americans, Allies, Green Card holders and those that worked with us, left them in an absolute hell under the control of terrorists. They aren't just in Kabul. "Afghanistan is the size of Germany and France combined."

As 8/31 draws to a close, we will be focused on extracting US and Allied troops. At that point the civilians that now have hope will know that they are being abandoned by America to the Taliban.

​

If the end here is failure, it's a failure by our suits, not our boots. Those wearing the boots are the finest the world has ever seen, but, while no foreign force can make them fail, Biden, while he is Commander in Chief, can force them to fail.

 

I see you can’t tell me what part I got wrong

 

Which was always going to happen once we left.

 

Heya all, we've got a brand new spin here, haven't seen this one yet

 

If you are posting in defense of Biden with this, I can no longer take your posts seriously.

 

Amazing how they let their credibility take a hit for the team.

 

Crazy eh?

 

Bush II, Obama and Trump. It is what is known as a group effort

 

who was stupid enough to give them aircraft?

 

Everybody but Dementia Joe who actually left them. Got it.

 

he is the only one of the group that did not add more.

But it seems that it is when we went from 14000 troops to 3000 that we should have taken that stuff with us, don't you agree?

How could less than 3000 troops possibly bring all that stuff home?

 

He's the only one in that group that didn't protect the investment, let's be remotely honest here. Even Obama wasn't this dumb, funny you left him(Joe) out and very telling as well.

 

fighter jets? ... I had to look up what an A-29 is ... it's certainly not a jet ... made in Brazil ...

not too worried about Uzbekistan and their Afghan Air Force ...

Joe, Donald, Barack and Georgie ...

 

Because it's the only claim they can think to make and they want to whine.

 

That is what happens when you leave after 20 years.

Anything important left behind would have been sabotaged.

 

How many troops does it take to load a C-17?

 

It's pretty simple. All weapons being left behind should have been destoyed.

 

Destroyed

 

Once we sold a bunch of printers to Saddam Hussein. He put those printers in defense installations. And we knew he would.

They all had homing beacons. When the first Gulf War started, we just remotely turned on the homing beacons and directed our cruise missiles to follow them.

 

The weapons were left for the Afghan military. How could they hope to survive without weapons,

Unfortunately trump's afghan government didn't last a week.
