When Joe Biden ordered the chaotic, deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021, he didn't just leave behind our dignity, he also left behind billions in weapons and armaments.
Taliban's Defense Ministry has confirmed that the group has repaired around 300 military vehicles left by the United States in Afghanistan.
Almost 80 U.S. aircraft-with control panels smashed out-were left abandoned at Kabul's Hamid Karzai International Airport when the United States pulled out last August.
The United States left behind nearly 42,000 pieces of night vision, surveillance, biometric, and positioning equipment in the Taliban-controlled country.
By the time the last U.S. transport aircraft left Afghan airspace on Aug. 30, 2021, 70 percent of U.S. weapons given to the Afghan forces over the past 16 years were left in the country as well as nearly $48 million worth of ammunition.
To make matters worse, RedState Managing Editor Jennifer Van Laar reported that Americans and evacuees-and two powerful Counter-Rocket, Artillery, Mortar systems-were left behind during the chaotic withdrawal from Kabul.
As I've previously written, "Biden's blunders have been many, but the disastrous pullout will perhaps go down as his biggest stain on history." And our own weapons, left behind in enemy hands, may end up being the tools that end up writing that history.
