Senators “Horrified” To See Black Hawk Helicopters In Taliban Hands
19th August 2021
A group of senators led by Republican Marco Rubio of Florida is demanding answers to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, writing in a letter: “As we watched the images coming out of Afghanistan as the Taliban retook the country, we were horrified to see U.S. equipment – including UH-60 Black Hawks – in the hands of the Taliban.”
It’s being widely estimated that the Taliban now has “billions of dollars in US weaponry” under their control amid that lighting fast collapse of the US-backed national government on Sunday into Monday. The Pentagon is still assessing, but what is known is that Black Hawk helicopters as well as A-29 Super Tucano attack aircraft.

Seriously, how f***ing hard would it have been to toss a grenade into each helicopter and deny the Taliban it’s possession?

Or send an A-10 along the line where they were parked and trash them.
