The weapons and equipment were “originally provided to the Afghan security forces under a U.S. training and assistance program that cost American taxpayers more than $83 billion through two decades of war.” The Taliban actively sought out the U.S. weapons and equipment, for war-fighting, only to sell it “to Afghan entrepreneurs because Taliban demand has eased with the end of combat.”
In a way I admire the Afghani entrepreneurial spirit...LOL
USA abandoned billions of dollars worth of equipment and weaponry when we left. Some enterprising Afghanis saw the opportunity and capitalized on it.
At least USA taught them that much. Capitalism aint all bad - right?
