Hold on there, Uncle Miltie.
There is a huge difference.
They are both Chinook's but the ones used in Kabul are newer, improved models.

Maybe the armed forces needs to be a 4th branch of the government. Leaders at the top chosen by the other 3 branches with VERY specific metrics in their records adhering to patriotism AND adherence to the truths of the Constitution.

I was gonna say that the Kabul Chinook has 4 wheels while the Saigon model has 3. It’s obviously nothing like Saigon.
