The air craft is probably the only thing they may not know how to use.

He won't. You know he won't.

Like Kevin pointed out.  The equipment belonged to the the ANA.  It wasn’t “left” there for them by the US armed forces.  Don’t worry about it.  We were very happy to sell all that shit to them.   Oh and to a great degree they were very happy to spend US taxpayer money on it for them.

There are always jobs open that are solely arms dealers. Probably more shady nations buying than allies at this point. Couldn’t bring myself to sell to these savages.

They got volume to keep things going for a while but things will erode quickly. Temporarily the terrorist threat is certainly high though.

They were told to leave on the 7th, were offered help with airfare.  They choosed to stay.

Just like you can get vaccinated for free anywhere in America right now and people are choosing not to get it.

A percentage of the population is just dumb.

People got trapped behind enemy lines. Not everyone was in Kabul when the Taliban started taking over towns.

About 10 years ago I interviewed for a helicopter maintenance job over there. When he told me what they would pay I told him to lose my number. If that's what they were actually paying the maintenance guys then there's very little worry that those aircraft stay airborne for very long or that  they are even flyable right now

Even more reason those people should had left months ago. It's not like it was a secret we were leaving.

They were assured by our government and our president that they could leave at a later time. Remember the 300k Afghan army that Biden boasted about?

My experience with military aircraft is that they break often.

Doesn't matter. Even if it didn't turn out they were a paper army they had to have known shit was about to get bad.

 A lot of those people like the students in San Diego had tickets for flights out.  Then they closed the airports.

Listen dude we all know your boy fucked up bad and now your trying to cover for him but this line of defense is pathetic. If this is the path the left plans on taking they are going to get raped in the mid- terms.
