17 Missing Afghan student pilots

| June 18, 2010

Lackland Air Force Base officials admit that 17 Afghanistan military student pilots are in the wind with their security badges (Fox News);

The Afghans were attending the Defense Language Institute at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas. The DLI program teaches English to military pilot candidates and other air force prospects from foreign countries allied with the U.S.

“I can confirm that 17 have gone missing from the Defense Language Institute,” said Gary Emery, Chief of Public Affairs, 37th Training Wing, at Lackland AFB. “They disappeared over the course of the last two years, and none in the last three months.”

So 17 guys have been wandering around the US with their security badges, some for two years, and this is the first we’re hearing about it?

If you notice a guy in an Air Force uniform herding goats near a military base, you’re urged to contact the military.

Oh good grief. More material for another Brad Thor novel. So now we got 17 guys who ALREADY know how to fly, getting a little English training courtesy of Uncle Sam unaccounted for running around. Let me know if a box cutter manufacturer reports a break in. And this took place over 2 years.

So how long did it take the original 19 to infiltrate the country and lay the groundwork for their attack on 9/11?

There is a reason we call them the Air Farce.

I don’t put this solely at the feet of the AF. There are others who have been running cover for this story for the last 2 years, as well. I’m sure the State Dept. has something to do with this as well. It wouldn’t be hard for them to blend in to the Islamic population within many cities around the country, either, especially if they are being assisted by several of the “benign” Islamic community organizations and mosques in this country.

Not to worry, OT, I’m sure the “good” muslims will be turning them in, now that the story is out. There probably isn’t a corner in Dearbornistan they can hang out on, now.

Does anyone know of a legitimate, pressing reason these people are being allowed into this country at all, much less being trained how to FLY??? I would think any country that has pilot candidates would have an Air Force capable of training them?!?

angry AMERICAN!

Just amazing! Well since our president is busy with filing lawsuits against his own states for protecting our borders I will help find these guys. As of now the South Texas Hunters Association has added a new game to the hunting list. No season, no bag limit.
