During a press briefing on Tuesday, Biden\u2019s National Security Agency Adviser Jake Sullivan confirmed a \u201cfair amount\u201d of weaponry fell into the hands of the terrorists.<\/p>\n<p>These U.S. military assets include ammo, firearms, helicopters and other combat aircraft surrendered or abandoned by the Afghan army. Top military officials said they were unable to provide any sort of plan to stop the seizure or get the assets back.<\/p>\n<p><em>Reporter: \u201cSo there\u2019s no U.S. actions being taken to prevent equipment from falling into the hands of the Taliban by destroying it or anything else?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>U.S. Army Major Gen. Hank Taylor: \u201cI don\u2019t have the answer to that question.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Reporter: \u201cYou don\u2019t have the answer.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Billions in taxpayer funded military equipment in the hands of the Taliban, and the White House just admitted they have little idea where it is and no plan whatsoever to get it back.
