There have been multiple reports of bungled US airdrops of weapons and supplies falling into the hands of ISIS who got to them before the intended recipients could recover them.

That's happened way to often to be isolated incidents. One of the problems when the good guys and bad guys don't reliably hold specific territory, and you can't tell who's who from the air. ISIS might have ended up with part of the $2.5 Billion in US $100 bills that went missing in Iraq.

They're probably using those bills as toilet paper after all those MREs we've airdropped to them.
