Iran did get hit.... with a check for 6 Billion to fund this $hit.
It's weird how we fund Israel, fund iran, and leave all that military equipment behind in the region.
Wars cost money, too bad we leave all that money laying around and wonder why all this happens.
I know, right? If they just wanted to give tht stuff away like that, there are a lot of fed-up people on the border, in New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas, who could have profitably used it to form militias to do what the US government is refusing to do.
And if they wanted to give 6 billion away, I know a lot of destitute people in Appalachian hollers - in the US - who could have used their slice of that.

Having worked in military logistics applications for a time during Iraq/Afghanistan wars, it turns out its more expensive to bring the stuff back than leave it. For numerous reasons.
A big reason: the stuff won't fit back in the box. After all the parts and stuff are taken out of their meticulously compartmentalized logically laid out shipping containers, they will NEVER go back in straight. Military personal will just load them everwhich way until nothing else fits. Try sorting that mess out when it gets back to the warehouse! Nope, not worth it.
Vehicles: we do try to bring those back, at least we did nearly 10 years ago when I retired after the Iraq drawdown. We gave tons of mraps to local police and sheriffs depts. Some say thats a good thing, others say it isnt. I'd prefer to see them on the border, and I sorta think some might be. Smaller desert type dune capable vehicles. Unless Biden has managed to give them to the cartels somehow.
Biden admin seems to have just said 'whatever.....' without much thought to it at all, too hard to figure out.
