I may put off recruitment duty, my goal in life is to shoot down a enemy fighter with a stinger.

Oh great! Shirley, you're joking. And don't call me Shirley. They intend to actually fly them right, not taxi them all the way to Turkey? Will they actually teach them to land or are these one way express pilots?

My thought exactly. Are they trying to use them to fight or to crash them?

LTC (Join to see), I think they would last about 30 seconds (if that) against U.S. and Coalition airplanes. I don't see it as a viable threat. Not at all.

Funny how we trained them to have self respect and protect themselves and they train radical Islamists to fly seized jet planes. More targets for our guys I guess. Sad that world peace is still so far away no matter how many places they send us to.....
