There was a lot of leftover equipment due to the unexpected speed of the takeover. At the time there were discussions about destroying any remaining equipment but I believe they ended up figuring that things will naturally degrade and it isn't like they have anyone trained in using/repairing American equipment. No classified info unlike Trump's bathroom.

While that's true, this helicopter was in ANA colors. It's one of the ones we'd already given the Afghan Army.

You mean to tell me Trump's rout wasn't SOP? ;-)
