@no1marauder saidYou are imagining things. I never said anything about troops and I never said that for a reason. The US is known to hire mercenaries to take the place of US soldiers after they leave. Blackwater did that in Iraq.
You lose; all US troops have left the Kabul airport.
Who is refueling the drones and launching them?
@Metal-Brain
Ah, so you think there is a cabal of thugs paid to launch drones?
So you are SUCH a military specialist you already know about the secret nature of the drone technology and so it should be ok to hire ex body guards to run drones?
Just WHERE do you come up with this BS?
I think you never were in the military and can look at it from the outside as if you think you actually know better than military men who have 30 years in service.
I can't TELL you how difficult it is to NOT use profanity when confronted with STUPIDITY and BONEHEADEDNESS from the likes of you.
@sonhouse saidAre you claiming there are no drones in Afghanistan? The Pentagon Won't Name ISIS Terrorists Killed In Airstrike. Why not?

@sonhouse saidAbout to pen a letter to the us hostages being held…what do you want me to tell them sonhouse(houndog) says?
@Metal-Brain
Why not. Well how about this: IT IS NONE OF YOUR BLOODY BUSINESS.

I can name the children Biden has killed with a drone strike.
"Several children were among those killed following a US drone strike in Kabul: Pictured, at top from left: Farzad, age 9, Faisal, age 10, Zemaray, age 40, Zamir, age 20 Bottom, from left: Naseer, age 30, Binyamen, age 3, Armin, age 4, Sumaya, age 2."

Look at their pictures shown in that link. Those are the innocent children Biden had killed. Perhaps they didn't kill who they intended to and that is why they have no names to report. They only killed innocent people, including young children. One was a 2 year old girl.
Do you still think Biden cares about human life? He is killing children.

@metal-brain saidYou're probably unaware of this, but the US can make drone strikes in countries without bases in said country.

Your guess that the US had to leave "mercenaries" behind to manage the non-existent drone base in Kabul airport is an amusing, if baseless, fantasy.
@no1marauder saidno one is holding “imaginary “ hostages.
Who are holding these imaginary hostages?
The taliban is holding American hostages.
but you dont care as long as you can dress up like a woman do you?

@no1marauder saidyou are probably unaware drones are not magical aircraft…they do require ground support.

@no1marauder saidI am aware of that, but they cannot refuel them and ready them for another takeoff from an airport. Who does that? Somebody has to and that is no fantasy.

Your naivety that drones are self fueling is the fantasy.

The Reaper has a range of 1,200 miles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Atomics_MQ-9_Reaper
There are a number of existing bases we know about in the Gulf area closer than that to Kabul. https://www.americansecurityproject.org/national-security-strategy/u-s-bases-in-the-middle-east/
There's a good possibility there are operating drone bases in Pakistan despite that government's denials. https://theprint.in/world/why-us-drone-strikes-against-iskp-in-afghanistan-smack-of-secret-arrangement-with-pakistan/725036/
