More Afghanistan math, there, eh, Curt!!!!!?
A Pentagon report reveals that billions of dollars in weapons and military equipment transferred to the Afghan government was left behind in Afghanistan after the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from the country.
In all, about $7 billion worth of hardware remained in the country after the Taliban seized control, according to the report prepared for Congress which was obtained by CNN.
...former President Donald Trump has repeatedly condemned his successor for failing to bring out more of the gear.
...the list of equipment left behind reads like a Taliban wishlist of armaments.
It includes a total of 9,524 air-to-ground munitions - which can include bombs, machine guns, air-to-surface missiles, rockets, air-launched cruise missiles, carried by warplanes - valued at $6.54 million.
