I doubt that.
They're not stupid, they'll surround that equipment with women and children 24/7.
We could do it now maybe, but odds are we'd kill some Tali's, and Biden can't risk an escalation obviously.
Nope... it's theirs to keep.
More likely they’ll move it to caves but we will be looking for it constantly. Right now it’s a big positioning game on the really expensive stuff and that will get sold eventually anyway.
Try to remember these guys really are mostly illiterate but not dumb. They can get a couple months of use out of this stuff before things like tires start sidelining this stuff. I saw a C 130 flying on some footage yesterday and have to admit I was surprised. They must have got a few pilots on the payroll before they had a chance to evacuate.
What isn’t being talked about is the brain drain happening in Afghanistan right now. The workforce needed to maintain and manage that equipment are on flights out of AFG.
But I do digress here. The focus now is just keep the flights moving and boarding the planes.
