This has been the ongoing incredible thing about all of this: the US just up and leaving fully functional equipment all over the place. I would've thought "slap some C4 to the engine block" would be standard procedure if you're abandoning a base?

Now you’ve left your enemy a truck and some C4. After the first one would have blown up they would have checked all the other trucks and found it.

The idea is to detonate it before you exit the area. Not leaving booby traps.

Not boobytrapping it, just literally blowing up and otherwise rendering it non-functional.
