“One also has to be careful here,” Cordesman added. “The fact that Taliban fighters or cells of fighters get U.S. equipment does not mean it is pooled or shared. Factionalism and hoarding are the rule in Afghanistan, not the exception.”


Look, I understand the part about the aircraft. But our military could use a little "factionalism and hoarding" when it comes to chain-of-custody while downrange Afghanistan.

Whether it's $80B or $24B neither is "fanfare." Try checking out a M4 rifle from the armory, not returning it and see what happens. Try not paying your taxes and see what happens. Bottom line, there's no excuse for this $hit. Not when you expect us to abide by the rules and you don't. I swear, if anything is going to bring down our government it's the perpetual double standard. See Hillary. See Pelosi. See Hunter. See this crap! People can take only so much abuse before they rise up. Study your history. Our leaders are not only tone deaf but callous... the very attributes of a despot.

Thank you.
