Ya I saw a picture of it all lined up.. They said it is all repaired but that is doubtful. A lot of the power plants were destroyed. They can't easily get parts for any of them. At best they were able to harvest some parts from one and put on another to make one functional. It may have taken parts from 10 or more vehicles to make 1 operational. Can't exactly go down to O'reilys in the states to get parts for them, and definitely can't in the desert.
It isn't anything new to leave behind war machinery. It costs too much and is dangerous to retrieve it all. You mean you want to send troops out to fetch a big jeep and risk their lives. Times that by 100s of them? That is stupid. That is even if they can find them all. If war breaks out again I'm sure they will be no problem spotting and destroying... Remember there isn't a war there now, they are just big jeeps and personel carriers. Some aircraft of course but they won't last long in that shithole sand box.
You mean the Afghan allies left behind, that didn't want to leave? Then it was too late? That is an ongoing operation and complicated. Haven't heard much in the way of any of them being killed. In a lot of cases that is their home, with all their family and possesions. Upon exit were we supposed to send in Ryder trucks and load up their stuff? I swear trumptards are the dumbest sum bitches around.
In a time of war service members die. It is unfortunate but it is reality. How many more would have died in the last year and half if the war was still going on and into the future? If we didn't exit the shit was gonna hit the fan and we would be knee deep back in it in no time. We only had a relatively small security force there at the time of exit, no where near a fighting force.
