I've been wrong when I've stated "what a fucking waste", it's worse than that.

Wowza.

There's no way Al Queda could learn to fly airplanes either.

You misunderstand. US trained, as in the Afghanis we trained to fly and maintain the aircraft...

we gave them. AKA, probably some of the Afghanis we almost ran over on the airstrip on our way out of Kabul. Pretty easy to flip to the Taliban right about now.

The US military said the US fighter jets were stripped of their computer systems.

They do however have a few hundred MIG's. Not sure if they're in working condition. They've been there since the early 90's.

PS: they did have an airforce at one time but their collection of jets are long since obsolete.

We will see.

And al Qaeda didn’t “flip” any pilots.

It’s not like you can learn to fly an F-16 though trial-and-error.

Maybe you are this stupid. I keep underestimating stupidity lately.

And Al-queda did learn how to fly planes.

It's believed they didn't learn to fly planes. They learned to steer them.

It is believed that Atta had a small craft license - the others learned to do some things by using a flight simulator.

It takes years of lessons to become adept at flying passenger jets.

Military aircraft are that much harder to learn and it takes hours and hours of flying to become proficient. Far more than passenger jets
and they take years of lessons.

Cheeks is being willfully obtuse. There is no way the Taliban can fly those planes.
