Leaving behind a black hawk helicopter. What incompetence. Even if the Afghan army had stayed intact, we surely didn’t think they would be able to utilize it.

And now, we can’t even drone it away - what’s its black market value to our enemies? But in reality, there’s been a great reset - there’s no black market now is there? And who is our enemy?

The Obama Army has been training our enemies for years. The Army, Navy and Air Force call it “Joint Training.” Most officers classes have at least one or two “Allies” in them. Foreign enlisted are not politically reliable, so you don’t see much of them.

Leaving behind a black hawk helicopter. We didn't leave one behind. Here's an accounting from the U.S. Government Accounting Office of all we did leave behind:

Who do you think is flying that? An Afghan army soldier we trained, who switched uniforms. Just like the Cartels send folks to get trained by the US military, the Taliban got their training from us.

Of course, flying is one thing, maintenance another, and flying in combat yet a third.
