USAsse jõudnud piloodiõpilased kippusid deserteeruma. Populaarne sihtkoht oli Kanada, kuhu asüüli paluma minna.
“We found that nearly half of all foreign military trainees that went AWOL while training in the United States since 2005 were from Afghanistan (152 of 320),” SIGAR reported in October 2017. “Of the 152 AWOL Afghan trainees, 83 either fled the United States after going AWOL or remain unaccounted for.”
Rohkem oli edu kohapeal Afganistaanis tehtud kursustega ning siis kui valitsus hakkas piloodiõpilaste perekondi lausa pantvangiks võtma.
The extent of Afghan desertions first became public in 2010, when Fox News reported on 17 Afghans who went missing from a U.S. Air Force base. The problem was so bad that the Afghan Interior Ministry, which sent pilots to the United States, instituted a policy of requiring Afghan trainees to provide a family member as a “guarantor” of their return.
Lõpuks väljaõppe saanud ANA piloodid elasid aga üsna pidevas surmahirmus, kuna olid Talibanile eelistatud sihtmärgiks. Nagu sellest vähe oleks pidid ka väljaõppinud piloodid kohalikke asjapulki määrima, et omale tööd ja teenistust leida.
If the Taliban can’t dissuade you from staying, job insecurity and corruption might.
Some trainees have left the Afghan National Army after reporting that they had been asked to bribe their way back into their old jobs. Afghanistan’s military policy doesn’t guarantee that trainees will maintain their previous jobs on return or that whatever post they receive will be in any way related to their U.S. training.
Suuremgi häda oli mehaanikutega, tundub et nt Blackhawke teenindasid üsna viimase ajani läänest pärit lepingulised töötajad, kes nüüd loodetavasti lennukile said.
