  1. Exactly, been done before, America actually helped Afghanistan by taking all their gear home.

  2.  @simonh1552  they too busy "revenging" on themselves to "bombs" anyone else these days, Afghanistan will tear itself apart which is a fulltime job as it is.

  3.  @supremeheavenlydeity5742  I think your idea/ideal of unification is very different to mine.

  4. Haha, these guys serious??

  5.  @supremeheavenlydeity5742  unification made by force isn't unification, that's just war, this could just go on for another 20 years. Same game, different players.

  6. This guy did actually give out orders though, he was a commander not the cook, don't play down his involvement.

  7. So why/how can these guys still not tell the difference between Afghan air force aircraft and US air force aircraft even when it is sitting right next to a russian aircraft painted in the exact same colours with the exact same markings??? Are they being deliberately stupid? THEY ARE NOT US AIRCRAFT!!

  8.  @supremeheavenlydeity5742  and that's a lovely story but this is a war, has been for the last 20+ years. Afghan was not "unified" long before the US stepped in so what exactly do you think is going to change this century?
    5
  9.  @diegotr1903  sudden? They where there 20 years, some would say that's 19 years and 6 months longer than first envisaged. It definately was not "sudden" that's for sure.

  10. Seagull Says was he supposed to care? If I was him I wouldn't GAF either, case closed, home for dinner.

  11. Was a regular old Shangri La before the US arrived and by all accounts is turning back into one now they've left....are you guys actually serious??

  12.  @grontelp77  my country has American aircraft in our air force but they're not the United States anymore, not really how that works.
    3
  13.  @zeffez8161  just because they are American made or even "funded" does not then make them US aircraft, they are/were Afghan air force aircraft and still are/were. I drive an American car here in my country but it is not Americas car, it's mine.
    3
  14.  @zeffez8161  so you are saying they should have destroyed all the Afghans military equipment before the Taliban took over?? So what exactly was the Afghan military supposed to fight with out of interest? Are you actually serious??
    3
  15. So did they pop over from the military side just to destroy a terminal they were not using anyway? Wouldn't have been the thousands of locals that swamped the airport though right? No way??...
    3
  16. *no one cared what he drank.

  17. It literally costs more to ship old equipment back around the planet than it does to leave it in country and replace it new in the US and better to destroy it than have it fall into Taliban hands, which is exactly what is happening.
    3
  18. Actually they are old refurbished A models from stockpiles and now the US govt does not have to pay for their upkeep anymore, boom problem solved!

  19. The only one dead here is Afghanistan, and dying a little more everyday, everyone else is laughing all the way home. RIP Afghaniban.

  20. So who are they fighting then? Martians??

  21. Silently? This has literally been on the cards for years and it is all over the world's news, no big secret at all
    2
  22.  @zeffez8161  that's because it was the Afghan militaries equipment, not the USs, bit of a bad look leaving the country and taking the countries weapons as well. Then instead of blaming the US for leaving equipment for the taliban everyone would be blaming the US for taking Afghanistans equipment when they needed it. You do understand this is all Afghanistans equipment right? It wasn't on loan.
    2
  23.  @Jsakiwonder it's not their equipment, look at the markings, they're Afghan aircraft. Do you know why that Russian helicopter next to the "american" one has the same paint scheme?? DUN DUN DUUUHHH!!!
    2
  24.  @zackjalamani  so why would they be on that side of the airport when they could barely control the military side? You telling me they doubled the size of their area to monitor just for some "sabotage and fun"??
    2
  25. Oh don't worry, Afghanistan "paid" for those...
    2
  26. 70%?? is that 1/3 in Taliban?
    2
  27.  @supremeheavenlydeity5742  that still doesn't change my comment, still very different views of "unification".
    2
  28. Medicine??
    2
  29. They are all warlords in Afghanistan
    2
  30.  @TOMAS-lh4er  the Afghans didn't fix or maintain them in the first place, US contractors did and the left weeks ago. They would have more luck hitting it with a hammer and hoping for the best.

  31. They literally got kicked out

  32. Nothing abit of covid won't solve

  34. I heard it was 78.6% but who's counting, literally, who is counting?

  35.  @grontelp77  the US gives military aid, training, funding and equipment to many countries all over the planet, so does that now make them a part of the US military as well? Mexico, Colombia, Phillipines, the list goes on, sure they would be surprised to hear this.

  36. Was doing so well before right? And is such a shining example of peace and harmony now? Haha are you actually serious?? It's more of the same just with less beheadings, stonings and firing squads, for now...
    1
  37.  @zeffez8161  what? So how exactly are you going to destroy thousands of humvees, aircraft and weapons (literally an entire army and air force worth) in a few days with the few guys that were left in country?? Pretty sure they had bigger problems to deal with at the time.
    1
  38.  @zeffez8161  and you do understand everything military was disabled in Kabul right?
    1
  39. Good work Afghan army, make use of that air force you have, should be a game changer in helping the army take and more importantly, hold ground.
    1
  40. Or maybe the reason for leaving the equipment is because it wasn't theirs?...
    1
  41.  @perspective7204  what's a Keblar vest?
    1
  42. How do you come up with that math? It's cost the US $2.26 trillion the whole time they have been there, as in 20 years...

  43. Well that's upto Afghanistan now, always has been

  44. Yea so relieved thousands are leaving, must be going on holiday huh?

  45. Afghanistan has some of the best kit on the planet, sorry Taliban does now, Taliban has some of the best kit on the planet...

  46.  @hooleeschitt9240  rigghhht...

  47.  @inconspicuousdaddy6307  evidence? Afghan army is folding like a pack of cards since the US has left, that's my evidence. Or are they just scared perhaps?
    1
  48.  @inconspicuousdaddy6307  oh so you think it is just a crazy coincidence that Taliban is now ramping up, taking over 1/3 of the country as the US forces pull out and the large columns of the Afghan army are laying down it's arms and running across the border or better yet, joining the Taliban? Just all happened this year right? 20 years later? Wow how's that for convenient timing? Are you serious dude?? Want a web link, the entire internet is a web link at the moment, literally take you 3 seconds to find 100 stories from numerous sources from all around the globe on what is happening in Afghanistan right now champ.

  49. So these guys are having a whinge and a moan because the Americans didn't leave all their gear behind for them?? You mean on top of all the gear they have already given your military over the years? that strangely enough looks exactly like the gear the Taliban are now using?? And they're seriously wondering why??? Not sure what these guys idea of peace is but pretty sure when they are literally battling for provinces all around the country then peace is definately not the call of the day, funny how that works. Thousands of unemployed? Really? So over the past 20 years no one figured out that eventually the Americans and allies would leave, in fact isn't it what "Afghanistan wanted" for "peace"? can't have your cake and eat it as well. These guys actually sound more angry that their money supply has ended now they finally got what they wanted but what exactly were they expecting, handouts? Paychecks? Free stuff? Not really how leaving works.

  50. You can't teach discipline, values and self respect sadly.

  51. Now let the real war begin, 20 more years of civil war go on. The world will eventually stop reporting on Afghanistan and just let it go back to the stone age, might actually be an improvement.

  52. @John Hero and what exactly are they going to do with all those armoured vehicles and rifles? Drive to America?? No one cares about all this outdated crap that's why they dusted it off, sailed it over and dumped it here in the first place!
    1
  53. @John Hero how? against who? Even their neighbours still have better air forces!
    1
  54. @John Hero and that's if these were even working.
    1
  55. @John Hero well that was ultimately the Afghan peoples, and nearby neighbouring countrys fault for not doing anything about it. Taliban just walked in and took the country, literally, and the country rolled over and played dead. What exactly did they think was going to happen?
    1
  56. @John Hero again, ANAs fault not Uses, if ANA had of done their job then this would not even be a problem would it.

  57. Oh cool, so now they have a big wreck to park next to all the other wrecks? Make a good playground for the kids at least.

  58. Pretty sure they're laughing all the way home

  59.  @just_janen_1196  so I take it you did not listen at the @1.00 mark when it states he was 1 of 6 political members, including the prime minister, on trial?
    1
  60.  @just_janen_1196  if he wasn't convicted then he wasn't convicted, just like anyone else or are you trying to say they let him off because they felt sorry for the guy? Not sure what your interpretation of the court system is, any court system, but they don't just do them for a laugh and it's not an automatic judgement based on your investigation into the matter.

  61. This story has nothing to do with the title!
    1
  62.  @azia5051  Haha those are far from new, the are UH-60As, as in the very first blackhawks. The new blackhawks are UH-60M, these are just refurbished museum pieces from stockpiles in the desert. Nice guess though.
    1
  63.  @ImSoDamn3vil  these are Afghan helicopters not US ones, the Afghan paint and emblems are a big hint...

  64.  @xsommer8558  so how do you know they disabled nothing, were you there?
    1
  65. It's Afghanistans.

  66.  @GulrozKhan1996  haha oh well then, as long as they are stoning people to death equally then all is Good in the world! Are you serious caveman??

  67.  @bastianbezon2687  great argument champ, did I hurt your feelings?
