Guess the cavemen weren't so ass backwards after all huh?

Trump will be using that vid in a campaign add I assume. Speaking of campaign ads, how come all I ever see is Kumholes ads on tv? Have yet to see a Trump ad. Isnt there some regulation that says the channels have to give equal time to both candidates?

how the hell are they maintaining all this equipment. Leaving the stuff behind probably made good fiscal sense and plenty was left inoperable, but the stuff that is running where the parts coming from?!

I watched that video and a lot of the stuff is Russian, not US made. The helicopters are most definitely Russian. The black truck with missile launchers and tanks on them are Russian...as are the tanks. The thing that concerns me the most isn't these vehicles, they're easy targets, it's the billions of rounds of ammo and small arms that are now all over the world, probably came into this country through the open border. If Biden had any balls at all, he would've called in an air strike as this parade as going on.

thanks for the clarification

Their little pride parade pissed me off. Knowing that some of that could be US made and paid for by US taxpayers enrages me. That parade should have been a shooting range for a group of A-10s.

Like the Highway of Death in Kuwait, 1990

That’s laughable. biden doesn’t have balls enough to fill kameltoes pie hole let alone even close to big enough to exterminate these vermin.

You know damn well Trump would've!

All of us together dont have enough to fill that hosebags pie hole.

I couldn't care less. Taliban had nothing to do with 9/11. They were willing to hand over Osama BinLaden, but Bush chose a war over diplomacy. The public was eager to punish any "rag-heads" and was easily manipulated to support this war. Very few people were asking questions. Then came Iraq war, as a part of made up "war on terror". You want a war on terror? Take out CIA, the mother of International terrorism.

Some of those are really of no concern, the M577's look like APC's and are easily penetrated by almost any rifle bullet and only have a top mounted M2 Browning for fire power. Thay are used as command post carriers and fire direction centers.
I agree with DEPICK, where the hell is an A10 when you need one?

Yeah. Looks like they’ve been supplemented quite a bit by Russia/China

I thought most of what we JOE AND THE HO left behind ended up in Russian possession.
They probably made an agreement with the Taliban, "give us the American's stuff and we'll provide what you need from our stock, and help maintain it."

Agree. One US anything is too many for these scum of the earth.

I would expect many of the non-US stuff is payment for the mineral rights. Russia and China were already there before the last of ours left.

 

[Deplorable Me]

Never an A-10 around when you need one.

 

[RedBreast21]

Probably paid for it with the 20 million a week Biden still sends them.

Another fantastic tool they want to replace. Honestly, maintenance will destroy most of these as it did when we outfitted Iraq and Afghanistan. Maintaining costs and require
