Date: June 30, 2023 at 8:44:08 PM PDT

Thanks to the Government Accountability Office, we now have a clear picture of just how much U.S. military equipment has fallen into the hands of the Taliban, thanks to Joe Biden's bungled withdrawal from Afghanistan. Let's have a look…


Aircraft: The Taliban now ranks #26 in the world in total military aircraft, thanks to us leaving behind

208 planes and helicopters:

110 helicopters

60 t***sport/cargo planes

20 light attack planes

18 intelligence/surveillance planes


Vehicles: You've probably seen the footage of the Taliban riding around in our humvees.

We left a total of 75,898 vehicles:

42,604 tactical vehicles

22,174 humvees

8,998 medium tactical vehicles

1,005 recovery vehicles

928 mine-resistant vehicles

189 armored tanks


Weapons: Get ready for this…

599,690 of our weapons are now in the hands of the Taliban:

358,530 rifles

126,295 pistols

64,363 machine guns

25,327 grenade launchers

12,692 shotguns

9,877 RPGs

2,606 howitzers


And you can throw in a couple thousand night-vision goggles, surveillance drones, and communication devices on that list as well.


Price tag: In total, it adds up to nearly $84 billion dollars in tax-payer-funded U.S. military equipment.

Well, Fred, Since there are 144,300,000 taxpayers, that's about merely $600.00 each. Of course, since there are "taxpayers" that don't actually pay money because they receive "earned income tax credits" money because they qualify without earning the minimum $'s, that figure is a bit higher than 600.
That number of recipients must be a National Security issue, I guess, but I wasn't able to find the number of those people. Maybe I didn't look in the right places, or perhaps the government didn't want to violate their privacy ?
