In 2007, Joe Biden uttered his last known intelligent sentence. After that historical moment,
his cheese slid off his cracker. -Sheila Tolley-
Now for the rest of the story:
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 transport/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.
Joe Biden just funded an army of terrorists in Afghanistan.
