I will never understand why the US left so much hardware and weapons for the Taliban to take.

I wouldn't call it a humiliating defeat for the US, And we could have stayed longer too, We chose to leave not because they were winning but because we decided we had done enough to satiate our revenge for 9/11

@golagiswatchingyou2966 That's still not a good excuse, the US government was what kept the afganistan government afloat; So it makes sense that the Afghanistan government collapsing wouldn't make hardly any difference in our ability to defend our military installations long enough to get everything and everyone evacuated. Literally the only reason the Afghanistan government collapsed was because the United States said we're going to leave, The United States military is what kept the taliban from being as successful as they are now

@diegokaqui60 we didn't accomplish nothing, we killed many terrorists (a lot more than they killed us) and killed most of the men responsible for us going to war there in the first place; that's really all you need to accomplish in war (it was also out main objective) , it's not like we planned on annexing them. And abandoning hardware isn't failing to win a war it's just a dumb decision and a waste of tax payer money.

@botbeamer no, much of the hardware was simply left and much of it was sabotaged such as cutting holed in the bodies of vehicles to make them useless to the Taliban, there is video and photos of this

@legrandliseurtri7495 guess those tens of thousands of civilians should have kept their violent religious extremists in check so the US wouldn't have had to retaliate. (also many of those civilian deaths are due to those extremists groups taking hostages and deliberately operating in civilian centers because they knew the US would have to restrict itself) I guarantee you if some American extremist group was out of control and attacked Afghanistan they would have done the same to the US. also this is like saying because Russia invaded Ukraine any civilian deaths on Russia's side is entirely Ukraine's fault, if you don't want civilian deaths don't attack others in the first place.

@legrandliseurtri7495 1. if they can't keep them in check and it spills over into other nations yes I do, their weakness or unwillingness to stop them is their sin if the US started attacking people unjustified and I as a citizen wasn't able to stop them then I say send your armies to invade the US; as much as it's going to suck for me do what you must to protect yourselves. 2. no shit a war just ended 3. retaliating against an aggressor isn't an awful act, it's the nature of fighting in general since the dawn of life... unless your a pacifist. 4. 3rd world countries have retaliated like this before, have you not studied wars in Africa, they just can't do it on as large of a scale because well their third world countries. 5. America has always said if you attack us we will retaliate 10 fold and we mean it, this is both a warning to the attackers and the civilians who live with the attackers who can stop them; so if you feel so strongly about the Us being such an evil nation then fine, come punish us, we'll be waiting with a gun in every civilians hands and do to you what we did to Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq.
