"One of the earliest major setbacks in the war against ISIS came last June when the U.S.-backed Iraqi army was routed by Islamic militants in the northern Iraq city of Mosul. Government forces retreated from the Islamic jihadists’ assault. They left behind a trove of costly military hardware, including U.S.-made armored Humvees, trucks, rockets, machine guns and even a helicopter." 

You missed the point of my post. I am bothered that the Russians have taken over a base from the USA as a result of our hasty retreat. 

Your post is about equipment that was given to Iraq when we withdrew that they lost to the militants. Quite different....
