Afghanis are not trained in maintenance of the Blackhawks. They will start crashing from maintenance issues soon enough. Hopefully with the pilot inside. That's what they said about the helos we left in Vietnam. Some of them are still there and flying.
To: USA Conservative
You assume Taliban personnel were piloting and maintaining the Black Hawks. IMO Pakistan military personnel were doing so.

Afghani’s who pretended to be pro American, of course, switched sides once they knew we were leaving. It’s not a complicated question

The real question is HOW THE HELL DID THEY GET U.S. EQUIPMENT????We left it there for them. That is part of the outrage. They pulled out the soldiers first, and then it was a huge mess. They had not taken any of the equipment out of Afghanistan; so, when the Taliban took over, they got all of that equipment that was left.

Looks like Afghanis are smarter than Biden, the IC and Military Brass.The empty cat food can I threw away after feeding my kitty this morning is smarter than Biden, the IC and the current military brass.

Truly taking responsibility means you accept the punishment.
I don’t see Joe accepting any punishment

Every year there have been Afghan military groups over here training on everything we have. Every year a few go missing from the bases.

My guess is that some of the “loyal” pilots we trained either were Taliban or joined them with open arms.
To: oldasrocks
We can, but we should have used tactical nukes inside Bagram AFB just after we left.

Probably a hostage pilot or a turncoat. Does it really matter?

Hmmm
The Chinese have back doors to all their stuff.
Why don’t we have back doors to the Black Hawks?
Send a little signal, and the main rotor blows off????

Apparently this isn’t the only execution of recent days. It seems that an interpreter was hanged.

But wouldn’t that mean that someone is in violation of 18 U.S. Code § 2339A - Providing material support to terrorists?

Chart is missing a few important categories. Shouldn’t antitank and antiaircraft equipment be listed? Or don’t we care about manpads anymore?
