"Everyone over here talking about eye liner and I just want to know why they're sitting in order of least to most foot coverings."

Please go enjoy the comments at the subreddit r/pics on "Taliban announces graduation of three new pilots." 

Don't miss the Bee Gees parodies.

The 2 on the left remind me of villains from a Battlestar Galactica 1979 episode.

I am still amazed they use electricity.

Looks like kohl around their eyes. No idea why that's so popular in the East.

What is that stuff they have around their necks?

The FAA gives out wallet-sized licenses.

They all look as though they have fleas. This is what generals Milley and Austin lost to.

cf said...

too funny, thanks for getting me to places I'd never know to go.

UDee said...

Are they taught to land the planes?

Drago said...

The dems/left/neocons/LLR's (but I repeat myself) provided tens of billions in armaments to their islamic supremacist allies so why not make the most of it?

That was a twenty year effort Big Mike, they just finished it off.

"Taliban announces graduation of three new pilots."

The Afghans were trained in half-the-time it takes to teach a US pilot. I don't know how they achieve such efficiencies??

Ramen noodles. Jihado high fashion.

What are they flying? The stuff we left for them?

Once they get some flight hours the airlines would like to speak to these guys- they are desperate for young pilots.

A moderator lockdown new comments because people couldn’t contain their speech within the confined boundaries of the sun.

Looks kind of impromptu. Grab a couple few office chairs, pull in three homeless hippies, stage a photo with dollar(plus.25) store gold stuff, certificates from Staples and impress the world and terrify Israel.

"Locking the comments because people can't participate without using hate speech or calls for violence."

Taliban pilots? Why in Heaven's name would photos of "Taliban pilots" inspire hate speech or calls for violence?

Landings are the most difficult aspect of learning to fly. They don’t have to bother with that.

Big Mike said...

@donald, the US military spent 20 years demonstrating that they are incapable of doing counter insurgency, and incapable of learning how to do counter insurgency.

Props to them, however, for the most abject bugout with tail tucked between their legs since the French Army in June of 1940.

WTF is going on over North America??

TickTock said...

It's not these guys.

Sheridan said...

Near the end of WW2 in the Pacific, during the Battle of Okinawa, the Japanese military deployed kamikaze pilots to attack American naval resources. They killed several thousands of people and sank or damaged nearly two hundred ships of various types. Has the US military checked any of the downed balloons for Taliban pilots? They have a tradition of self-sacrifice do they not?

These are same guys fighting in their pajamas out of Toyota used pick-up trucks.

The Bee Gees thread was most entertaining.

I remember seeing that in my reddit 'popular' feed: my first thought was 'this is going to sting'.

Reminds me of seeing, years ago, Taliban warrior photo cards for the ladies retouched to favor heavy eyeliner and rosy cheeks. Each sported a Kalashnikov.
