Why did they take the weapons?


Why did they take the weapons from the bodies of the dead Taliban? Was it to take the weapons out of commission or was it for trophy loot?

I thought it was physically gross and disgusting the way they handled those dead bodies when they were searching for weapons. They killed those Taliban, they should have just left the bodies in the ditch.

Probably both.

Like other guy said, probably both. But about the bodies.. It's war.

reply

It is for one reason alone. To deprive the enemy of viable weapons. end of discussion.

A better question is: Why would they leave automatic weapons lying around for anyone to take? What if some kid finds it?

you never leave behind anything the enemy could use against you.... see atonement for one example. they shoot the radiators of all the trucks and the horses as well before evacuating.

^The horses too? Great.

Riight...Let's leave weapons and possible intel on dead bodies because it's disrespectful. The guy is dead he won't give a *beep*
