what I'm saying is that we don't need this specific equipment back home. Build new equipment here for the natural disasters.

It's going to be a very difficult, expensive and possibly life threating job to get this equipment home. Is it really worth the hassle? We sure could use the jobs of buidling new equipment as well. If we are supposed to be transitioning to the Afgan government, then we should just sell what's over there to them and get our men and women on the next flight out.
