So on top of fighting the Taliban, you want to start fighting the Afghan Army too...
You know Trump was the one who pulled out of nearly all the bases... Why didn't ask for the arms of the Afghan Army then...
Did you want the US army to get in a Humvee, trek out to an outpost base in Afghan mountains and ask for there guns and other weapons back?
How does that go?
"I know they are shooting at you right now but it is our turn on the gun"... Then just run off with it...
"You know Trump was the one who pulled out of nearly all the bases... Why didn't ask for the arms of the Afghan Army then..."
Trump's plan was as different from the Democrat retreat as cubism is from Cuba.

5. This will be done at Bagram Military Airbase, a fully defensible airport.
Under Biden: “The Bagram district governor, Darwish Raufi, expressed irritation with not being included in the process.

8. Trump conversation with Taliban leaders prior to withdrawal: “I will hold you responsible if any of the red lines were broken during our withdrawal.” Trump reminded of the Democrat favorite, Suleiman. Biden was the voice against killing Bin Laden. Point made. Fear and respect for Trump.

So they weren’t fulfilling their obligations and condition, but here’s… Just to finish. The people come out first, then I was going to
take all of the military equipment. We have billions and billions of dollars worth of new Black Hawk helicopters, brand new that Russia now will be examining and so will China and so will everybody else to figure it, because it’s the greatest in the world.
Donald Trump: (

We have brand new army tanks and all sorts of equipment, missiles. We have everything. I was going to take it out because I knew they weren’t going to fight.
