To supply all them Apache Helicopters and other Aircraft so they can strafe and bomb people trying to get away.

Makes sneaking in the country to getting people out kinda tough.

Wonder how many pilots we trained...

The Taliban has seized US weapons left in Afghanistan worth billions — possibly including 600,000 assault rifles, some 2,000 armored vehicles, and 40 aircraft, including Black Hawks, according to reports.

The US gave the Afghan military an estimated $28 billion in weaponry between 2002 and 2017 — including seven brand new helicopters delivered to Kabul just a month ago.

The war chest also included the supply of at least 600,000 infantry weapons — including M16 assault rifles — as well as 162,000 pieces of communication equipment and 16,000 night-vision goggles.
 
It has left US officials clinging to the hope that the aircraft will prove too tricky to maintain and fly for the Taliban to use effectively — with a leader this week admitting the group did not have trained pilots.

“Ironically, the fact that our equipment breaks down so often is a life-saver here,” a third official told Reuters.

But just having night-vision goggles — of which the US has given at least 16,000 since 2003 — is a huge advantage.
 
Why am I just hearing about this now? :rolleyes:

Do you really need to ask? They'll just tell you it's a massive left-wing conspiracy from the (clear majority of) Americans who hate America because they don't see things the way he does. Anytime the media doesn't report what they want to believe, that's their explanation.
 
It is not something one would normally expect to happen...

And I am sure we all have listened to it ad nauseam.

But it must NEVER happen again.
 
The Russians might decide to come back so at least they'll be armed this time and won't have to rely on Charlie Wilson.
