Something this article overlooks is how often we give the ANA or ANP new equipment, only to see them turn around and sell it, usually to the Taliban. Anyone who spent a significant amount of time with them over there will tell you we had to resist the urge to give them new gear every time they begged for it because of this very reason. I have a hard time recalling all the occasions we were told they were being overrun in some village and needed new supplies, only to fly a Predator over the village and see nothing. It was a scam. This article smacks of the same thing. Bitch and whine about not being equipped properly to get more gear to sell off. Sorry, I'm not buying it.
