SSG (Join to see) If it gets us closer to pulling U.S. Troops out and letting them run their own country I am all for it.

The refurbishing also creates jobs stateside and the delivery could potentially create contractor positions there.

I was thinking that. Our 15T Blackhawk repairers go through AIT for longer than 12 weeks, and they do not have the language barrier that the Afghanis do. Also, our Production Control (PC) meetings can get rough on occasion-- I'm sure the Afghanis will show us how it's done.
