US scraps $7 bn worth of Weapons in Afghanistan

US scraps 7 bn USD worth of arms in Afghanistan « RAWA News: 
"The most contentious part of scrapping equipment in Afghanistan involves the disposal of Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles that protected US soldiers from the threat of roadside bombs in Afghanistan.
“In Afghanistan, the military has labeled about 2,000 of its roughly 11,000 MRAPs “excess.” About 9,000 will be shipped to the United States and US military bases in Kuwait and elsewhere, but the majority of the unwanted vehicles — which cost about $1 million each — will probably be shredded,” reported The Washington Post."
