HORRENDOUS: U.S. General Allegedly Abandoned Allies in Afghanistan for Souvenirs
Donahue allegedly booted 50–100 American allies off the cargo plane so he could load a Taliban souvenir — an “inoperable Taliban-owned Toyota Hilux with a fully operational Russian ZU-23 anti-aircraft auto cannon mounted in the bed” — to bring home.
[…]
According to RedState’s informants, “During the last hours of the evacuation, according to troops under his command and as documented by photographs and witness statements, Donahue ordered all of the passengers aboard a C-17 transport plane to disembark so he could have a souvenir loaded onto the plane. Once the Hilux was loaded passengers were allowed back on the plane, but, of course, there wasn’t room for all of them. “
So where exactly did that autocannon go? Full auto, 23mm; wow. Machinegun and destructive device all in one. And the EPA might have something to say about the Hilux technical.
Did Donahue register the ZU-23? If so, when did he start the paperwork with the ATF? It generally takes months to get the tax stamp.
Hell, did he even bother with the import license?
Is the ATF investigating this alleged import by Major General Souvenir, or are the rules just for us little people?
OK; I admit the last question was rhetorical.

“Interesting, if accurate.”
A very big IF. It would be interesting to see some corroboration of this, since it seems PJ Media does not have a stellar track record for accuracy.
PJM is not one of my goto sites, but this story popped in an agrregator feed.
They are more reliable than CNN, which isn’t exactly saying much.
