The material wasn't "left behind". It was given to the ANA for them to fight the Taliban.

But the ANA was folding so fast according to news reports. Maybe there was no way to prevent biometric equipment from falling into the Talban's hands. I guess my hope is that there were better solutions that didn't hurt us.

I'm actually surprised at the response to my comment. I think I'm not expressing myself clearly. My thoughts keep wandering to what could have been done and the costs of the Taliban possessing advanced technology. Sorry for the Pollyanna mindset here.
