I'm fairly certain this is the US backed alliance when we first pushed into Afghanistan. Our issue was that the Northern Alliance is comprised of multiple warlords that had their own agenda so we came with weapons, cash and hope that they would help us and not stab us in the back during battle.
So basically the same damn principle as the Mujihadeen?
Because that worked

Soooooo…how many helicopters would it take? I would think they would have to use chinooks right? Is it even possible?

Dude. Aircraft carriers weigh 100,000 tons. The best lifting helicopters in the world can lift 22 tons.

Daily mail has an article out saying 15k-40k Americans inside Afghanistan. Hope this is WAY off:

Bush's former Asst. Secretary of State Robert Charles said between 15,000 and 40,000 Americans are stranded

'There's a document in the embassy called the F-77. I am told the F-77 of Afghanistan indicates there are 15,000 potentially, upwards of 40,000 Americans

Anything bad happen during the night? Yes I know "bad" is a relative term when discussing this catastrophe.

Taiwan will eventually fall. You can put whatever pretend date you want on it.

That's the kind of forward thinking Joe and his hand selected group of Military advisors are known for.

40,000 seems impossibly high.

One of my favorite Archer quotes is about the Mujahideen. And it is spot on right now! I truely loath our government, particularly CIA black projects in the Middle East.

ARCHER: Don’t worry, I won’t! Because selling cocaine to cocaine dealers doesn’t really compare to helping overthrow democratically elected governments like the U.S. did in Guatemala, Chile, Nicaragua, uh, oh Iran! Because spoiler alert: those didn’t work out so great. But that’s okay, because I’m pinning my next big hopes on the next big shipment of stinger missiles to that ragtag bunch of Mujahideen heroes in Afghanistan!
