Who knew a plane full of passengers would spread the virus so quickly?...

@alexeygavrikov9472 those are Afghanistan air force aircraft, America literally does not want them and most of the flyable ones are in Uzbekistan and Tajikistan.

@farhanullah1626 assets that they gave them, well actually not "them" per se, the former them...a lot has changed in the past couple of months if you hadn't noticed.

Been there, done that, for 20 years even and look how that turned out. Afghanistan is Afghanistans problem now.

A better message would be fight for your own country and it will be your own country! Afghanistan had the chance and lost it, pretty spectacularly as well. 20 years of help, funding, equipping and training and the country, THE COUNTRY, just gives up and plays dead! No one to blame here but Afghanistan sorry no matter how you try spinning the sob story.

Afghanistan got what it wanted apparently? Time to live with it. When your nations army lays down and plays dead and your people sit back and let it happen then you accept your fate, no point crying about it now. Enjoy your new future Afghanistan, you earnt it...

$28bn of what though? Humvees, rangers and M16s?? Um cool? Even the few "high tech" tucanos and defenders they take pictures with are pretty dumbed down. Yea they would be a danger, if they were fighting themselves or some actual farmers.....$28bn of potatoes are still just potatoes, you just now have a lot of potatoes.

Yea I can fly them on COD and Battlefeild, so not that hard at all...

So what are they supposed to say? That it is all lollipops and rainbows over there now and everyone's doing just fine?? What exactly would that achieve?

Hasty? It took 20 years!!

@gnkyiri and neither are these, they are refurbished vanilla UH-60As (as in the first blackhawks), as simple as they get, literally. Don't think just because the US flew the latest and greatest in Afghanistan with all the bells and whistles then that must mean the ANA did otherwise they would have had UH-60Ms, Apaches and Abrams. These were literally from the desert stockpiles. Good for some sightseeing tours in the mountains perhaps but even then, Afghanistan was a challenging environment for even experienced pilots and pushed equipment to it's limits due the the hot and high and unforgiving desert conditions. Do you seriously think the US would give them cutting edge tech knowing what they knew??

@QueArgh Wow, that's a great exaggeration in itself but then considering you actually believe "the US has killed millions" in Afghanistan I guess exaggerating is just what you do huh? Remember that time Osama Bin Laden blew up all 17 of the twin towers with hundreds of hijacked airliners? Twice!!

@QueArgh here's a better idea champ, since you are the one making the wild claims why don't you put up you're research champ, save everyone a lot of time right? I'll be here waiting for "moar" trying to trying to figure out WTF a sheepl is??
1
@QueArgh oh dear, having trouble with that research pace huh? We call them facts where I'm from but tomato tomatoe.

@SmallPaul. haha you don't even know what a C-17 is yet pretend to know how easy it is to "fix" them and get them flying again??
1
That hueys tail is wrecked?...
1
Where?
1
Well, it didn't work for the former Afghan army either sooo...
1
IS giving the Taliban a run for its money using, Taliban tactics...Oh the irony!
1
So the Taliban and NA are fighting again just like they were 20 years ago, if only the ANA had did their job then there would be no need for the NA, again, 20 years later...
1
So what would Trump have done?
1
When does peacekeeping turn into peace enforcing otherwise when does it end? 8 years and counting so far...
1
Apparently you think you don't have to do anything either?...
1
What hardware? A few MRAPs? The rest of the "hardware" is/was the ANAs and Afghan air forces, the US was never taking that back anyway so they didn't leave it anywhere. Just because it is made in America does not still make it Americas gear!
1
You can literally buy blackhawks on the internet, calm down.

How backwards and stupid can these idiots be to actually believe in this dumbass shit??
1
But the other roommate didn't clean up did they? they just gave up instead and hoped someone else would do it, so the neighbour took over the house...
