Correct. And that's EXACTLY what your retort should have been in the first place. That's what i say when someone is talking about things that i know nothing about..."uh huh."
You also own a Ferrari and a Gulfstream too,this is the internet.
"Yet to be used in Afghanistan" doesn't mean that it's not in theater.
So i ask again, what should we do with this equipment if we're so committed to the rebuilding of the Afghan army? It makes no sense to bring it home because we have no place to store it and most units already have motorpools full of equipment that can't be used in that theater.
The we should SELL it to them. WTH..they have no money ?
Let them BUY IT FROM US.
We're not exactly rolling in cash here you know.
NATO’s war planners call it the “iron mountain,” the $2.7 billion mass of military equipment that will be dropped on Afghanistan over the next eight months. But will the mountain be tall enough?
Between now and next March, the U.S.-led coalition will deliver 22,000 vehicles, including 514 new four-wheeled “mobile strike force” armored vehicles yet to be used in Afghanistan, 44 airplanes and helicopters, 40,000 weapons, and tens of thousands of radios and other pieces of communications gear. “It’s an enormous amount of equipment, vehicles and weapons,” said one U.S. military official.

The truth is that it never should've been manufactured in the first place. We're already inundated with military equipment that isn't worth a damn. And they probably can't buy it. Afghanistan doesn't have any money that i know of. Certainly not 2.7 billion for equipment. Maybe we should let them sell their opium instead of destroying it. At least they'd make some money.
Actually it is not,Spending was running $6.7 BILLION a month in February,the most recent month available.
That isn't $2 billion a week.
So..you were wrong.
Depends on who you ask. I can easily find a link (i already did in fact) that says that we spend what i said we do.
In any case, billion here, billion there...what do you care? Bottom line is that we're giving this crap away, and they can have it as far as i'm concerned.
