I read an article that said "low hundreds" of Americans are still in Afghanistan.
Then I read another article that said "about 600" Americans are still in Afghanistan.
These were statements from government officials.
I've never heard the term "low hundreds" before.
Our Blackhawks or Afghan army blackhawks?
Left behind? I wouldn't be surprised American Blackhawks were left behind. Besides a shit ton of other stuff. There was an article that mentioned the military "permanently disabled" 150 pieces of equipment so it cannot be used again. 150 pieces. Whoop dee doo........
Every time they show the news and I see Taliban soldiers brandishing M-16's and M-4's I shake my head. Yes, most of them were abandoned by Afghan soldiers but it just shows how failed the American involvement in training and equipping them was.
I'm pretty sure the lower level military leaders in the field knew they lacked the will to fight but their superiors in the Pentagon and WH over 20 years refused to listen or declined to rock the boat to protect their promotions and status.
