TAMPA, Fla. - In response to attacks by the Iranian-backed militia group Kataib Hezbollah (KH), including the attack on al-Asad Airbase in western Iraq on Jan. 20, on Jan. 24 at 12:15 a.m., U.S.
The Taliban basically kicked them out. The USA got out really quick and messy, leaving behind a ton of equipment (and charging their soldiers for some of it).
Soldiers don’t get charged for lost gear in this kind of situation. The military has procedures for relieving service members of liability for this type of loss of equipment. Think of how ineffective the military would be if soldiers had to worry about being liable for losing equipment outside of their control.
The link I sent you explains exactly the case you are talking about.
Edit: The whole video is probably too long to expect you to watch, but the key point is that the solution is a FLIPL to determine if the soldier is liable. This is a very common occurrence in the Army.
The video is a 20 year army vet, now a military journalist. I am active duty Army. I am telling you, there is a process to relieve a soldier of liability in these situations. It is called a FLIPL. It is an investigation to determine if the soldier is at fault.

A soldier and veteran with documentation vs some video dude’s speculation.
So no, your video doesn’t actually explain anything. It just throws shade.
The Taliban kicked the US army out of Afghanistsn. America left in a disorganized panic.
