Victor Davis Hanson warned Fox News’s Tucker Carlson on his show this week, “There is something terribly wrong with our military.”
“I don’t know whether it is their distraction because of wokeness, as they go through the ranks and rosters trying to weed out potential … [white] supremacists, or they’re just incompetent, or they’re too worried about the revolving door of going in and out from defense contractor boards…” he said, saying we need an investigation.
Hanson said that the amount of military hardware captured by the Taliban added up to 85% of military aid provided to Israel over 70 years. He said the dollar value was equivalent to 7 of the new $12 billion Gerald Ford aircraft carrier or 1,000 of the F-35 joint strike fighter aircraft.
According to Hanson, the Taliban now owns more Abrams tanks than the U.S. has “ever deployed.”
“So this is the greatest loss of military equipment in the history of warfare.”
Hanson said the loss was accepted by the Pentagon “so nonchalantly.” They’ve empowered a pre-civilizational terrorist band into making them into a considerable …. militia that will cause havoc for the next 20 years.”
