This is after airmen had to walk the full length of the runway, picking up every tiny bit of trash or debris, for fear it may end up in an engine. Meanwhile Russian Migs are taking off from dirt runways, kicking up sand and twigs, not even hesitating.

Well that’s impressive until you look at Russian Vs US dogfighting records. The F-16E is undefeated I believe.

It doesn't seem very robust for a combat plane. All the Afghnis have to do to shoot it down is scare a bunch of birds to fly in its path.

To be fair it hit them at the most vulnerable possible time. There wasn't enough altitude to restart the engine.

Birds generally stick to low altitudes so most the time when this would happen would not have enough altitude to restart

I've never heard of a two seater F-16. It's clearly a training flight. Probably T-38, but that means they had two engines.

They have two seater F16s, prob for training on that platform.

I don't think thats correct for this particular aircraft, my understanding is that preliminary training is done on a sim, and once passed the sim training, the F-16 pilot flies with an instructor in another jet.
I am not claiming that other platforms don't have two seater variants for training, a lot of them probably do.
EDIT: Just checked Wikipedia, maybe I am mistaken. B/F variants are two seat.. interesting.

The F-16B and F-16D are 2 seater training varients of the A and C models respectively.
