    The vehicles in that vide look pretty "op" capable to me. I'm sure some stuff was de-milled...I'm also sure not enough of it was.

    That's just the stuff at the airport.

    Curious as to the numbers on equipment left behind. What was given to the Afghanistan government verses what was US Government property. What was owned by contractors?
    Its all just BS to keep us fighting over crap issues.

    All the media can do to keep us off the UFO/UAP incidents. I'm not even concerned about the Taliban affecting my personal well being. But a superior civilization that can travel from the stars? The Afghanistan debacle is merely a distraction.

    I have a really hard time believing this was an actual pic. of a Taliban flying one of our Blackhawks. I mean come on, do we really believe that someone with zero copter flight training is going to just jump in and figure it out on their own at a moments notice. I'm not buying it. I certainly do believe that we left plenty of capable equipment left behind, but I don't see anyone figuring out how to use a helicopter without some training.
    Laws aren't "preventable" measures. IOW, more gun laws won't stop mass shootings.

    Yeah. Not sure. Not like we've never had someone with Army training turn on us (i.e. Ft. Hood).
