U.S. seeking buyers for military equipment before Afghanistan drawdown
March 31, 2014 - The United States is trying to sell or dispose of billions of dollars in military hardware, including sophisticated and highly specialized mine resistant vehicles as it packs up to leave Afghanistan after 13 years of war, officials said Monday.

But the efforts are complicated in a region where relations between neighboring countries are mired in suspicion and outright hostility.
