With a person being hung (Execution) from it
Just reading reports that the report that a man had been strung up with a helicopter is in fact a Taliban fighter with a flag celebrating the US withdrawal.

Now do they keep them or sell the "Secrets" of the Black Hawk to a third party along with other US hardware?

Taliban parading around in US kit and with US weapons, could the humiliation for Biden and the US military be anymore complete?

I think the key word there is US military. How many soldiers had left Afghan prior to Bidens presidency? Why on earth would they leave the cheap, moveable kit/Intel. A massive embarrassment. Course Biden will carry the can, but the ineptitude from the military is huge. I'm sceptical there ain't a reason for it to be honest.

Almost as if they wanted them to have it? Lesser of two evils against the ISIS mob and everyone else is Collateral damage.
