Didn't want to hijack Dano's thread but I found this. May have already been posted on Fox News.
As The Gateway Pundit reported on Sunday — Joe Biden left 300 times more guns than those passed to the Mexican cartels in Obama’s Fast and Furious program.
This more complete list was created with public information and help from other intelligence sources.
The list does not include all the extra kinds of nonlethal equipment, everything from MRE’s, Medical Equipment, and even energy drinks.
The big story might be the pallets of cash the Taliban have been posting videos of pallets of weapons and stacks of $100 bills they have seized.
Here is a more complete list of US-supplied and left behind equipment list now controlled by Taliban:
-2,000 Armored Vehicles Including Humvees and MRAP’s

nothing to see here move along just ask the left
being a public forum I will just say what a blessing the dems (specific groping Joe the on my knee HO and the gang ) have turned out to be .... well ok at least for China ,Russia , Taliban , Mexico the illegal immigrant's and of course Hunter's art work however as for the USA they have done more damage to our country in 6 months than I would have ever guessed and still have more time in office to completely destroy us
This makes my blood boil. I mean what the hell is the people who are not in command doing? ABSOLUTELY, CERTIFIED INSANITY.🤬
Everyone involved in the decision to leave all that stuff ought to be tried and hung for treason. That is beyond disgusting.
Joe
I wonder who they will sell the high tech stuff to since I don't think those goat herders have the knowledge to use or maintain it. I wasn't surprised when old Joe said the buck stops with him but this was Trumps fault. Maybe he was not referring to responsibility but actual bucks. Bob
Remember that some of the howitzers and ammo used in the siege of Khe Sanh were captured during the Korean War.
More proof that we totally misunderstood the enemy we were fighting, just like in Vietnam.
The bureaucrats decided to do something without a good understanding of the military implications and Trump/Biden decided to bail out instead of a military withdrawal
Anytime you tell your enemy what you are going to do and when it only proves you are DUMB, not that you are "Negotiating in good faith."
And don't call it a "War" -- it was an "Administrative Conflict" from the beginning, and the beginning goes back to when we propped up the Shah of Iraq instead of forcing him to develop a democracy, thus letting the opposition build strength.
And for that you can blame any of the post-war presidents and when it really went bad we had the Peanut Farmer trying to handle stuff way above his pay grade. JFK, LBJ or Nixon might have been able to do something, but may have focused on "the Communist threat" and Vietnam instead.
I am sure that the Taliban will spare no cost ensuring that a good deal of these goods are returned to the U.S,A. as soon as possible via our southern border.
Anyone miss mean, raycest President Trump yet????
Wonder if I could get a few TALLYBAN connections and send me via Amazon some thermal scopes and maybe night vision goggles? for some rupees or naked goat pictures?
I don't much care about the Afghan paratroopers.............they failed in their mission on the landing.
This really chaps my * though. How in the world can we just surrender all of this "materialle" to an enemy force?
The US has a long history of underestimating the potential of an enemy, or is it overestimating the capability of our military? Untrained, poorly equipped opponents have done a lot of damage to US forces starting with the Civil War.
I hope once (if) we get everyone out that we need to, we send in the bombers and turn any of this material left in armories to dust.
Trump would do that. I doubt anyone in this administration has the guts to give that order. Least of all the commander in chief.
They couldn’t pile all that encryption gear up in a heap and drive a tank over it, then set it on fire? 30 minutes tops.
Oldwinchesterfan, I like the way you think. The cherry on top would be to take 100,000 or so taliban with it. Problem is, I'm pretty sure the armories have been raided and emptied weeks ago. The taliban population in afghan prisons have also been liberated. They and the weapons are now scattered across the entire s#1+hole of a country.
The Britts pulled out of there in 2014 after totally dismantling the fortress like city that they had built, which included systematically taking everything back out of value and scrapping and destroying whatever was left over.
They did not even leave surveilance cameras for the Afghans on the outer walls. The Afghan commanders were complaining that "they spent all this money on themselves and nothing for us".
The U.S. "leadership" had to screw this up on purpose. What they did makes zero sense.
So, what is the end game here ?
