Tax payers know all the equipment lost in Afghanistan isn’t the on their tax dollar, right? It’s on someone’s FLIPL, right?

Unlikely. Those items were written off the books many years ago. And all initial purchases are funded via tax dollars.

Perhaps the Afghan soldiers paid for them?
Or perhaps they were free?

It ended well for Taliban. We trained an Army of 300,000, and provided them with an Air Force. All while getting rid of Ghani, and electing a new leader. A win/win for them. $2T for us and great loss of good Americans. Lose/Lose. This did not all happen in seven months, but Biden was in charge when it came to a head. The peaceful manner of Taliban during the process of evacuation almost makes it look planned.
