AWOL Afghans in Massachusetts (UPDATED)
Folks are filling up my inbox with stories about these three Afghan exchange officers who are AWOL from Joint Base Cape Code. I guess that Central Command has stepped into the search;
Maj. Jan Mohammad Arash, Capt. Mohammad Nasir Askarzada, and Capt. Noorullah Aminyar were reported missing by base security Saturday night and have not been seen since.
The three men were on Cape Cod for training exercises and arrived at Camp Edwards on September 11.
They were supposed to leave later this week and I’m sure they’re just taking advantage of their current location to look at things they don’t see in their own country – grass, trees, virgin goats, you know stuff like that.
UPDATE; Fox News says they were apprehended on a bridge to Canada. Canada has more goats, I guess.

Swell, just swell!!! We are worried about border security and they can’t even keep tabs on three foreign soldiers of Muslim origin on a military post. Now we potentially have three “terrorists”, trained and loose somewhere in the Northeast. If this a worse case scenario, any bets on them already having contact with a terrorist cell in the U.S. and probably before they came? If we are leaving Afghanistan, why in the hell are we training their troops, here in America? Makes no sense to me, but I’m sure it does to the empty chair in the Oval Office.
It could be that they suddenly realized that they were supposed to go back to Afghanistan in a few short days and actually fight. That scared the shit out of them, so they ran.
Entirely possible.
But INS will track them down and apprehend them in a flash – right?
(Yeah, that was sarcasm.)
Honestly, an Afghan major and captain are the American Army equivalent of a specialist and PFC. They went to the mall, saw the wonders of American decadence, and decided to go the next step and hit the titty bar. As soon as they run out of all the pocket that the Americans gave them, they’ll show back up. Either that, or they accidently ended up in Southie and got their asses kicked and can be found in a bloody pile behind some random Irish bar.
Bobo…I sure hope you’re right. Maybe it’s just that. Enthralled with America and out on the town. I am voting for the “found in a bloody pile behind some random Irish bar” though.
Could be they realized their fun time in America was over and they were scared shitless at the thought of having to go back to Afghanistan and actually fight the Taliban.
Whew. Had me scared for a minute. When I first pulled up the pictures I thought it was another website showing a new set of majority shareholders from FirsTech Solutions.
Howie Carr is gonna have a field day with this.
I said this morning that they went to the Golden Banana.
Settle down.
Same thing happened in late 1979 and early 1980. Iranian officers and enlisted alike did the same thing, disappeared and asked to stay.
Master Chief…Thank you sir.
G@d damned spiled-brat, entitled POS iranians. I despised them back then and despise them today. They trashed the barracks at Millington, and were always acting all high & mighty towards we US Navy sailors, as if were supposed to bow & scrape to them because they were frikkin’ Persians.
I wouldn’t shed a tear if we dropped a few hundred Megatons of radioactive sunshine on their worthless POS country. It’s be a mercy to the rest of the civilized world.
But that’s just my opinion. I’m certain that others might have a different perspective. Persons like, say, Obama’s sock puppet MarkL. 🙂
Had a few negative experiences with some of a similar breed back in the day. Thankfully, most encounters were much more pleasant. The bad ones were utterly unforgettable.
Seems that a few forget that they are visitors, not our rulers. And our female personnel are not their slaves. Ick.
And, honestly…what are three Afghan officers going to do that the cells here are not already trained for, provide them “leadership” ?
Im sure they thought the afghani soldier who opened fire and killed major General greene posed “no threat” either….
Afghani soldiers? They could easily get jobs in New York or Chicago as cab drivers.
What’s the problem?
Well at least now in 2014 we have these excellent color, “high definition”, photos to help us locate them.
Picking someone up from pics like that would be akin to being on the lookout for a white Toyota Corrola in Kabul!!
I wasn’t in Kabul but I wish I had a nickel for every time we were told to keep a lookout for a white toyota on Ohio.
Or a blue Opal in Mosul. Can’t count how many times I got that BOLO.
The BOLO for the Beltway Sniper was a white van – every time I looked in the street, I saw a white van, so I’m guessing that hat happened – witness saw one of the countless white vans near the scene and the cops went on that.
The van wasn’t the only “white” they were looking for IIRC.
Red 70’s model Mercedes Benz dump truck with orange bed.
Photos? Is that what they are? I thought they were sketches that had been faxed to about 30 different offices before being published in the paper. Well, either that or the photos were taken by Mathew Brady.
Those images are poor photocopies of the subjects’ Lincoln Visas, not the visas themselves. The actual items have multiple security features, and yes, a much better resolution black and white digital photo. Not hi-res, but plenty good enough to positively ID the visa holder.
Fox News says they were apprehended on a bridge to Canada. Canada has more goats, I guess.
Those racsist Canadians. Apprehending people at their border? F¤cking fascists!
They probably heard there were more sheep! I wonder if they’ll try to apply for asylum?
I 95 will take them straight through to NYC unless they decide the Pike will be less obvious once they pass Worcester, then they could go to Albany and down to NYC from there on 87….
Guessing they’re not staying in Western Mass as they’d stand out a bit once they pass Springfield….
Not saying we’re lily white west of the Connecticut River, but you don’t see many people of color. We have a lot of Russians, but the Afghans don’t look much like Russkies.
No surprise really as we don’t control our souther borders why would we control a base in the PRoM?
Scuttlebutt is they were supposed to evade capture and vote for democrats this election.
It turns out they were nothing more than cowards, afraid to go home and fight their nation’s enemies.

Moral of the story: Our border security works better at keeping people in rather than keeping them out.
Well, unless you happen to be a Marine on the southern border.
They should have checked the local goat farms in the area.
Hmm. I’ve read that Afghanistan was big on the “Hippie trail” in the 1960s and early 1970s. Wonder if maybe they went to visit biological dad (who’d visited that land “back in the day”) after graduation – and dad told them to skedaddle to Canada to “avoid the war”?
Am I on the right track here, VWP?
I had very little contact with Foriegn exchange officers from goatfucker land.
The only place i remember seeing any was at Ft Sill. There were a few Saudis that went through and soe Pakistanis.
The one Rumor I heard was that Foriegn officers from certain countries would not get graded on any event. They would get a certificate of attendance vice a diploma.
Apparently this cae about ecause two Saudi officers went through the course and treated it like a vacation, being late, missing days and getting drunk. They ended up with a 30 or 40% on the course.
When they returned to Saudi Arabia they were supposedly executed, so DOD stopped grading them.
The other officer I Di”Stinkly” was a Pakistani who you could literally smell 20 yards away. I was buying soething in the cafeteria one day and all the sudden it smelled like someone tossed a dead dog in the door.
It was him. you could even sell him outside at 50-60 pacs if the wind was right.
