As soon as we are out of Afghanistan and those who helped us too

[joetheman]

we must have some kind of action to destroy all our weapons that are left behind including those in the hands of the Taliban and/or ISIS.

1. How would that work?

[lagomorph777]

3. Presumably we'd have to go right back in.

Doesn't seem very likely.

5. +1

13. how about just special Ops? nt

2. Could maybe drone-strike large equipment like planes, tanks, helicopters, Anti Aircraft batteries

If they're left in the open, but we're not going to be able to do squat about the small arms, RPG's, etc.

[H2O Man]

4. That would assume

two things: first, that the US has the ability to do so, which isn't likely, and second, that the defense industries that made such a big profit would not like those weapons to continue to be use, in order to justify the next round of production.

6. I guess we can bomb Afghanistan and then invade it.

8. lol

7. They need to make the weapons with planned obsolescence, like iPhones

[PoliticAverse]

9. In the future all weapons will require payment of a regular subscription fee...

and if not paid the weapon will stop working.

Kind of like Peloton...

10. Perfect

It’s the American way

[harumph]

11. There is nothing to be done about the firearms - however,

complicated machinery degrades in desert environments pretty quickly
if you can't get parts. I wouldn't worry about too much - that said,
China and Pakistan should commence to worrying.

12. They have enough that they can sell half on the arms black market and still be well equipped.
