Shrug, you only fire with one eye anyhow. I'd wager he could pick you off from 100yd.

Consider this: he's been an insurgent long enough to survive the US pullout, with a lazy eye.

Actually, it could very well be a now former Afghan airforce pilot at the controls. Could also simply be flown by a Taliban member who also happens to be a Helicopter pilot.
Simply add "Dave" who has never flown in a helicopter before and begged to try out the winch and now you have internet potato pics circulating on right wing site concerned about helicopter lynchings.

But Bilal Sarwary, an Afghan journalist who fled the country in the evacuation of late August, tweeted on Tuesday: "Afghan pilot flying this is someone I have known over the years. He was trained in the US and UAE, he confirmed to me that he flew the Blackhawk helicopter. Taliban fighter seen here was trying to install Taliban flag from air but it didn't work in the end."
The Afghan news agency Aśvaka, which recorded its own video of the helicopter flight, told the Indian fact check website Alt News that its team had confirmed that the person attached to the helicopter "was controlled and hanging from the helicopter to fix the flag at the governor's building in Kandahar."
