While I would love for that to be true, we probably need to be honest with ourselves.And that, ladies and gentlemen, does amount to treason. Our elected leaders either through malice, ignorance, or incompetence has armed our enemies. Think about that for a little bit and let it settle in.
I believe the line goes something like, aid and comfort to the enemy, what else do you call effectively handing our combatant enemy billions of dollars of US arms?
Lets say you gift me a safe full of guns. And a month later somebody breaks into my house and steals the guns. Or shoots me and steals the guns. Are you guilty of giving the guns to criminals?
Because for most of this, that is what happened. "Here Afghan army. Have tools to fight the Taliban." Then the Taliban shows up and those soldiers run away, leaving the weapons behind. Now the Taliban has the weapons. Yet we didnt give the arms to the Taliban. They took them from who we gave them to.
Now any of the arms left behind in hangars that we abandoned are another matter. But do we know that to be a fact?
