KABUL, AFGHANISTAN — Abdul-Fattah Raziq, currently serving as the logistics officer (S-4) of the Badri 614, a Taliban Army battalion, has become increasingly irritated with his troops’ inability to account for their equipment.
“It’s like these guys have never heard of supply discipline,” Razig said exasperatedly as his Taliban compatriots ran roughshod across the country, taking urban centers one-by-one.
After a hasty withdrawal from the country, American troops were forced to leave billions of dollars worth of equipment behind, much of it ending up in the hands of the Taliban.
“Look, I get it. We just outlasted the greatest fighting force the world has ever known, but that’s no excuse to not conduct command inventories,” said Raziq.
