Afganistan Collapse

[hanimmal]

If you want to suggest I'm unreasonable, explain so with reason, not a strawman. I'm too old for that shit. Russian trolls didn't get you Trump, anti-intellectualism did.

Is there a difference?

Also I didn't say 'unreasonable', just too far.

You guys are all talking like us leaving our tanks and vehicles there is a bad thing. Have you considered that the US Military knows what they are doing? Yes, we leave a lot of stuff there, but ...

It's so cool when admins post up. We make them nervous.

actually it's Chrysler Corp....built in Detroit by the lowest bidder, Dodge

Sorry your wrong. Mexico.

SO MANY POSTS TODAY! We are busy. Are we not??

Read a quote from somebody the other day that said, "It's a blessing that our equipment breaks down so much," so they don't seem too worried about most of it as it will be trash soon enough. The shit they are really worried about apparently are the night vision googles that a monkey can use, they say that will be a game changer for the Taliban when fighting the "freedom fighters."

as absurd as saying........Americans wanted Trump.

Should somebody tell this person how elections work?

Those weapons left behind will be used to kill innocent people, civilians, and the ones who are after 40 years still willing and able to fight - before they break down (and Russia and China trade parts for lithium).

Before that happens we will find a better battery source. Segway I'm doing my ancestry to see if I'm Norwegian.

No.. he/she doesn't need a course in American elections. We barely understand it ourselves.
That said. The electoral college needs to disappear.

It's actually made in Lima..........Ohio by General Dynamics a subsidiary of Chrysler

You gotta love this site. " Wives not included!!".

2016 legitimized the claim, and 2020 came scary close.

subbing out a part is not the same as assembly....I don't know of a car maker that makes their own tires....Abraham tanks are built in Ohio......USA

Ohh Gawd... I.S.O.

With... What.. American made parts??

if needed....they source them out because they can get them cheaper, not because they can't be made here.

Are We talking quantity or quality?

 

[mooray]

Everyone subs stuff out. It's not practical to make everything. You'd ruin your business if mined ore to process iron to cast the equipment needed to drill for oil so you could process it into rubber and make a tire....because you wanted to sell wheelbarrows.

Anyone know what the things firing from this plane are?

Yes flairs. When I was working at an aerospace company one of the chemists took me out back and thought I might want to see something he was coming up with a different formulation and he had a syringe of the stuff. As he squirted it into the air it caught on fire. Kind of cool as there was snow on the ground. On the tank engines. They are turbines, more power to weight ratio than the engines of the Sherman. And yeah, not your backyard mechanic to overhaul them. A guy I used to know from the shooting range taught people to overhaul turbine engines.

"Honeywell AGT1500 overhaul period" - "the time between AGT1500 depot-level overhauls has declined from 2,000 operating hours for a brand-new engine to 700 hours for one returned to stock from the depot."

Not really sure you can stop into your neighborhood Afghan Tire and pick up a set of o-rings for them.

I’m very familiar with what you’re getting at. Lockheed is a perfect example
