Live Thread 3: The Fall of Afghanistan

[240B]

I know there are soldiers and retired soldiers who want to go to Afghanistan to help the effort.
Understand and respect that. But not me. I do not trust the American Government today.
I'm just not sure who they are really working for. But it seems like they are willing to leave America behind to support our enemies.
Do not trust them about anything. I think they would easily get me killed or left behind for some invisible anti-America agenda.

Here is how Schumer, Colbert, and their far-Left band of Communists took the news of the fall of Kabul, and beaten and murdered bodies in the streets.

No way. I will not fight and die for these FOOLS. Not me. They are just not serious people, or leaders.

That's what I'm sensing, too.  When stories start surfacing of Americans trapped in Afghanistan after the last flight leaves, they will simply say, "Hey, we told them to get to the airport.  Not our fault."

This is what I have expected since the first day. I firmly believe the intentions of the DNC are to cause a armed revolution against the government in order to claim justification for declaring a "State of Martial Law Exists",and no longer have to do any damn explaining to any damn body. They can just declare private ownership of firearms to be a felony punishable by death if they want,and there will be no legal power to stop them.

No more elections.

Hell,they can confiscate your bank accounts ad seize your homes without even having to give any justifications.

AND......,most important of all,no one has the authority to tell them they can't do any damn thing they want to do but the Supreme Court,and they OWN enough justices via blackmail to be assured this will never happen.

More seats in some of those aircraft than what you can safely put in the military transports.

@txradioguy

Not true. Ever seen a C-123/C-130 loaded with paratroopers and pallets of supplies that includes jeeps,weapons,etc,etc,etc  for a (training) "combat jump"?

[sneakypete]

It takes a lot of time to reconfigure those aircraft from cargo to pax.  Besides, I'm not sure if there are enough seats for all of those aircraft combined.  Faster to use civil aviation.

@SZonian

Yeah,maybe 3 minutes,if it takes them than long to unlatch the folding seats that are folded up and attached to the walls.

Military cargo aircraft carry a LOT more weight that commercial aircraft because that is what they are designed to do. Load capacity is MUCH more important than speed.

Indeed I have.  And you're not going to put as many butts in seats in a C-130 as you are a Boeing 767 or an Airbus A330.

Your ignorance of cargo aircraft is noted.  The C-130 jump seats are NOT always installed.  C17s and C-5s do not have wall mounted seats, they're either palletized or individually installed.  You have a nice day now.

@txradioguy

True dat,but there are a awful  LOT of C-123 and C-130's in the USAF. ESPECIALLY when you add the reservists and their aircraft to the list.

Add a few Wart Hogs to the list to provide air cover,and you bees in bidnez.

It CAN be done,and it can be done safely. All it takes is the will to do it,and in MY opinion the lack of will is purposeful. The Dims are "going for the Gold". The WANT American citizens to revolt against this treason to give them the excuse they need to suspend the Constitution and declare a state of Martial Law is in existence. This would mean the "temporary" end of elections,and THEY will be the only ones with the authority to declare a "declare a state of emergency no longer exists." I expect them to do this some time around the year 2525.

Big freaking whoop,causen hit bees SUCH a difcult job ta install dem,huh? Aftur all,dey bees so hi tech yew wood have ta teech sum zoomie to operaite a batterie powered drill.

[240B]

Rode a C-130 from Rome to Athens and there were no seats at all.
They strung a cargo net at the very forward of the aircraft and we all sat on that.
We were not 'passengers' at all. We were simply a different form of cargo.

[Mod2]

This is not the place for a debate over the capacity of a C-130. Please.

...you were wrong then, you're still wrong now.  You said it would only take 3 minutes to "flip them down"...kind of hard when they're not there, but now you want to attempt deflection and mockery...being a pigheaded ass must come naturally to you.
