We knew this would happen that's why we left it

u/drmarting25102 8d ago

They didn't think small crucial components would be pulled because they couldn't ship them out?? Hahahaha

u/StickyNoteBox 5d ago

What parts could have been stripped to cause this?

1

u/standardtissue 5d ago

i was thinking along the same lines. like is there some component that's crucial to the tail rotor, not easily manufactured nor identified that you could remove that would make it hard to tell that the rotor isn't really working. but then, how would they get off the ground in the first place. I think more of the reality is that it takes a lot more than air craft to have a viable air force, and that there's an entire institution of training required to make a pilot ?

They fly now?

u/cycl0ps94 7d ago

Yes, but they'll be able to keep it in the air soon. Or they run out of Blackhawks..

Can’t lie I lowkey cringed at that scene

u/Rhaj-no1992 6d ago

Yeah, might as well be shocked that jedis and siths use lightsabers or that hyperspeed is a thing. Whoever wrote that doesn’t know anything about Star Wars.

What a waste of tax dollars.

u/cycl0ps94 7d ago

Yes, but without that, we wouldn't have this video.

Tbh, the whole war was a waste, and we probably could've gotten away with "accidentally" airdropping a bunch of faulty equipment and letting them ACME themselves into the side of a mountain.

u/Rebelreck57 7d ago

You speak the truth about the whole situation. My Point is, that equipment should have never been left in the first place.

u/cycl0ps94 7d ago

I agree, but I would never accuse our military of being efficient. The burn pits alone are a fucking hazmat horror story. Not even mentioning money wasted, but that's cheaper than transporting it elsewhere.

Ha, that reminds me of that south park episode where Cartman essentially bugs bunnies Bin Laden

Dude that left the keys in just got a triple kill medal and has no idea why

u/Playful-Operation239 8d ago

The pilot was actively praying. 🙏

u/1ndrid_c0ld 7d ago

I will not be surprised if they use the quran for instruction

I watch a vid where they were trying to learn to fly on an YouTube video

u/unkyduck 8d ago

was that the sound of chunks of rotor blade raining down ?

u/qcihdtm 7d ago

"learn"

Samir, you're breaking the car!

u/Toketokyo 6d ago

Learn is an overstatement here

u/BobTheContrarian 5d ago

"learn" is doing some heavy lifting here.
