I thought Americans wanted our troops out of Afghanistan. Is the problem the Taliban took over so quick?
I think the problem was the way it was done. Our guys left in the middle of the night not even telling the afghans they were leaving till they turned everything off and flew away.
You could definitely argue that they never were in a position to actually hold the country by themselves, but why did we just pull the plug? Why weren't we monitoring the situation so we could at least bomb weapon caches to prevent them from falling into Taliban hands?
Seeing those mountain goat fuckers holding full auto M4s and driving around up armored humvees all financed by the US tax payer just grinds my fucking gears.
All those lives, all that money, all that time just to hand over billions in equipment to a hostile force. It was all just such a fucking waste.
Grinds my gears too!! A whole bunch of brand new crated humvees just left there for the Taliban. Don't get it at all, that's a fortune in the millions of dollars. I don't believe the costs of shipping them back to the US would have been that great. Its the taxpayer paying for that waste again. Our troops could have used these Humvees back home.
Especially since they are required to destroy and make inoperable. Which means the US gave them the equipment. They make grenades specifically for this. They burn hot enough to ignite aluminum and melt steel.
The only people complaining are politicos.
