I say just give them to the Afghan Military. Unless they can't afford the upkeep, however with all that new finds they got. I'm sure they could pay for the 6 chinooks upkeep and would be of better use to them.

Screw that, we're already giving them Leo C1 tanks. Return them to Boeing and sell them to someone else to recoup some of the $292 million we spent for them in the first place.
