#2 Makes our efforts look almost minuscule.

No shit. Next time hubris calls you to jump in with a hundred billion dollars worth of hardware, don't.

#3 Why would we have needed Stingers there? Taliban had no air force and I don't think we would have shot down any Pak aircraft operating on the border.

#4 Murcek, because it's part of the pre-defined load out for a combat brigade. They each have an assigned amount for air defense.
(When eldest son was there as a combat engineer, he came upon a battalion strength river bridging unit. Armored bridge carriers, boats, the whole nine yards. Parked near Bagram. Unused.)

#6 Stinger's batteries have an expiration date. That's only good if kept in accordance with instructions. Those flares will be adequate if not.
