Soldier Says Army Making Him Pay for Gear Left Behind in Botched Afghanistan Withdrawal

A soldier exiting the U.S. Army has expressed strong criticism of the Biden administration and the current state of the military. He claims to face charges nearing $4,000 for military gear he was instructed to leave behind in Afghanistan during the withdrawal orchestrated by President Biden’s administration.

The soldier alleges that the instructions to abandon the equipment came as part of the withdrawal process, which has been widely debated and criticized. This situation has raised questions about the policies and decisions made during the withdrawal and their impact on service members. The soldier’s grievances highlight broader concerns regarding the administration’s handling of military affairs and the withdrawal from Afghanistan.
