Let's Cut Some Spending: $83 billion spent on military equipment - and left behind in Afghanistan

Remember the absolutely critical Omnibus spending bill Congress muscled through at the end of last year? It was 4,000 pages that no one read and cost taxpayers $1.7 trillion.


In our Let's Cut Some Spending series, ForAmerica will chronicle parts of the 2021 and 2022 spending bills from a variety of sources that you probably don't know about - programs, grants and spending of all kinds that should have never happened in the first place and many that are still happening.


Here's a doozy that will undoubtedly go down as one of the dumbest federal spending wastes in American history.

Today’s offering: Never forget the $83 billion in military equipment and training the U.S. left behind in Afghanistan!


Fox News' Emily Compagno reminded viewers of this awful example of waste on a recent episode of Gutfeld!

Forbes reported after the 2021 U.S. exit in Afghanistan:

The U.S. provided an estimated $83 billion worth of training and equipment to Afghan security forces since 2001. This year, alone, the U.S. military aid to Afghan forces was $3 billion.
Putting price tags on American military equipment still in Afghanistan isn’t an easy task. In the fog of war – or withdrawal – Afghanistan has always been a black box with little sunshine…
“We don't have a complete picture, obviously, of where every article of defense materials has gone, but certainly a fair amount of it has fallen into the hands of the Taliban,” White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said Tuesday, The Hill reported. “And obviously, we don't have a sense that they are going to readily hand it over to us at the airport.”

The U.S. for twenty years: 'Here is $83 billion in military equipment and training.'


The Biden administration: 'Let's jet. We'll just leave all these weapons and equipment here.'


The Taliban: 'THANKS!'


Unbelievable.
