Can’t image the will last long without spare parts. Unless we left that too.

There must be a few art curators in Kabul purchasing hunters art relics in order for the talibon to now be well armed.

Probably people we trained who switched sides.

I’m guessing that we taught quite a few Afghani soldiers how to fly (and maintain) those helicopters. Those guys are now under Taliban control. So maybe the Taliban made them an offer they couldn’t refuse.

Join the new Taliban Air Force, or you and your family are all dead.

I conclude that finger-poking joe wanted them to humiliate this country. The last conscious act of his fading mind was to sell out his country. The country that pays his salary. As his mind deteriorates even further he will find it harder to enjoy the reward that awaits him for his betrayal: a LOT of money (disguised as a book deal), a mansion, and an enormous legacy for Jill.

“Who taught them how to fly Black Hawk helicopters?”

Who’s in the co-pilot’s seat?

Wouldn’t surprise me that some of the pilots we trained were either always TallyBahn or saw the light and enlisted.

WE TAUGHT THEM.

Most likely, some of the Afghani pilots made the logical choice and decided to work for the Taliban and survive.

But indeed is becoming worse by the day!

They are running their own country, and we are not.

Under what scheme is that "getting worse"? Do YOU want to run Afghanistan?

Simple - One of the Afghan Army pilots we trained simply switched sides, or was told: show us how to fly this thing, or we kill you.

      Some of them were seen in complete combat gear in social media posts and couldn’t be distinguished from other special forces from across the world. There was no characteristic long beard, or traditional salwar kameez outfit, and certainly no rusted weapons. They looked the part.

We did, of course. The pilots are almost certainly ex-Afghan Air Force pilots.

That’s the good news. For every hour of flight it takes 10 hours of maintenance.

Afghanis are not trained in maintenance of the Blackhawks. They will start crashing from maintenance issues soon enough. Hopefully with the pilot inside.

One would expect that at least some of the Afghan army pilots who were trained to fly the Blackhawks would have defected to the Taliban forces.

Last man out of the airport could have tossed a grenade in all of these but I guess the upper brass didn’t want to waste good hand grenades. Idiots!!
