In an April 2021 interview with CNN\u2019s Dana Bash, Harris claimed she was \u201cthe last person in the room\u201d and felt \u201ccomfortable\u201d with the choice they made. During a news conference in Phoenix, commemorating the third anniversary of the U.S. exit on August 30, 2021, Crane highlighted that Harris had signed off on leaving behind $7 billion worth of U.S.-funded military equipment. He expressed concern that this equipment is now being used to oppress allies and fund terrorism globally. <\/p>\n<p>Crane pointed out that left-behind American weapons are highly sought after by terrorists and can fetch high prices; for instance, an M4 rifle can sell for up to $2,400. The U.S. Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction reported that approximately 600,000 weapons and various military vehicles were abandoned during the withdrawal process.<\/p>\n<p>He emphasized his worry about night vision gear being left behind as it plays a crucial role in modern warfare\u2014allowing U.S. forces to operate effectively at night while putting their adversaries at a disadvantage.<\/p>\n<p>Crane also criticized Harris for not only leaving Afghan allies vulnerable but also failing to properly vet around 120,000 Afghan evacuees who have since entered the United States without clear identities or intentions.<\/p>\n<p>Afghanistan war veteran Jeannette Garcia shared her distress over witnessing the chaotic withdrawal firsthand and recounted how former Afghan interpreters reached out to her for help escaping their perilous situation after risking their lives alongside American troops.<\/p>\n<p>Garcia concluded by expressing her disapproval of Kamala Harris potentially becoming president and urged voters to support Donald Trump instead because he stands firmly with soldiers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2334739,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Picture-2024-08-31T084938.787.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[7228,4021,39801,39800],"class_list":["post-2334738","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-afghanistan","tag-harris","tag-leadership-failure","tag-navy-seal"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Picture-2024-08-31T084938.787.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2334738","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2334738"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2334738\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2334739"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2334738"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2334738"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2334738"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
