I’m a peace keeper. I’ve done so much killing over the past 20 years I have to make amends.

As do knee-jerk reactions and inflammatory accusations of someone trying to use common sense when looking at a picture out of context, to me.


It appears to have become common fare here when someone’s confronted with a contrary opinion...”Communist! Biden supporter! Chi-com troll!” Dumb crap.

Hey... I know you! You’re that guy that hangs out on the corner of Main and Court on Saturday nights looking to make a few bucks, right? I won’t tell anyone.

But if you were... I know a dude named “Creepy Jeff” I could introduce you to. He’s really weird, but he has a lot of money. You two would probably hit it off nicely!

The US provided the Black Hawks to Afghanistan as part of an FMS deal in 2015. This also included training.

If the Taliban has them now, it’s because Afghani forces couldn’t hold on to them. (Which really sucks.)

We’re talking cavemen

Cavemen who've received a lot of help and training from Pakistan. Pakistan gets its military equipment and training from us. I doubt the Taliban has enough people capable of making full use of the equipment Biden left lying around, but they probably have a handful of people who've flown helicopters and may even have familiarity with Blackhawks if we've supplied those to Pakistan.

It’s the Afghan Army pilots that we trained flying the Blackhawks

Having been in Pakistan and working with their military I’ll stand by my reasoning.

A man has got to eat. Why do you think we have so many expatriates working abroad?
IF there is no work at home, you go where there is a paycheck.

They defeated the US.
They’ll fly anything we have.
Joe Biden will supply and teach them.

On the front lawn of the WH perhaps? Time will tell.
