I cannot confirm the truth of this, but I remember reading somewhere that this is what the US does WHENEVER we leave a war-zone; it’s supposedly cheaper to buy new gear than to transport the old stuff home.
Y’know Harley…That Obama bugged out’ lie has been debunked every time you’ve posted it…and every time, you responded in the same manner.1. Ignore the response.2. Post that lie again on another thread.
Growing up listening to my WWll veteran dad and friends talk about the war, one of the items talked about was how equipment was dumped over the side of the ships rather than be brought back to the US and the various reasons for doing so.Couple of decades later while wearing the green, I participated in prepping equipment to be shipped back from Viet Nam. It, the equipment, never made it out of the South China Sea. Reasons ran from not cost effective to contaminated with residue of the battle field. A lot was left to the locals to keep the war going but was left at the way side ASAP.Your tax dollars whizzed away.
The truth: The U.S.–Iraq Status of Forces Agreement (official name: Agreement Between the United States of America and the Republic of Iraq On the Withdrawal of United States Forces from Iraq and the Organization of Their Activities during Their Temporary Presence in Iraq) was a status of forces agreement (SOFA) between Iraq and the United States, signed by President George W. Bush in 2008. It established that U.S. combat forces would withdraw from Iraqi cities by June 30, 2009, and all U.S. forces will be completely out of Iraq by December 31, 2011.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S.%E2%80%93Iraq_Status_of_Forces_Agreement

Anything we bring home winds up in the hands of our local police who then use them in a similar manner against U.S. citizens!
