Nearly 4 dozen Afghan troops AWOL in the US
The Pentagon reports that about 44 Afghan soldiers training in the United States have gone over the hill in the past few years, according to Fox News;
A U.S. defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters that the frequency of Afghan troops disappearing from military training was truly concerning and “out of the ordinary.” Pentagon spokesman Adam Stump said that eight Afghan troops have left bases without permission.
“”The Defense Department is assessing ways to strengthen eligibility criteria for training in ways that will reduce the likelihood of an individual Afghan willingly absconding from training in the U.S. and going AWOL,” Stump said.
Afghans who train at U.S. military bases are vetted to make sure they don’t have a sketchy background or ties to militant groups in the Middle East, Stump added. The defense official told Reuters there was no evidence that those who vanished posed any threat to the U.S.
Well, that’s reassuring. Most of the Afghans who killed US troops in Afghanistan during the surge of green-on-blue insider attacks were supposedly “vetted” by the Afghanistan government, too.

Nothing to see here folks, move along now, move along now….
But hey the government is great at vetting people and controlling illegal immigration, just ask them.
What was the definition of “insanity” again?
The last two syllables of ‘infiltrator’ sound like – what?
10 points if you figure it out without using the thesaurus or the rhyming dictionary.
Do you mean traitor or air task oriented radar?
Last TWO syllables.
And you do get 10 points, plus the weekend at Bernie’s, plus a free set of paper plates, paper napkins, picnic utensils and an unused George Forman grill still in the box.
Lock up your goats.
They just pining for the fjords.
Or they’re just out sightseeing.
How you gonna keep down on the farm after they’ve seen PAREEEEEEE!
Yup, quite the choice. Fucking a camel or Vegas. Hmmmm. Tough choice.
I’ve read about it, but never fucked a Vega…
LOL!
Hmmmm, what does the camel look like?
More important, is it stump-broke?
No stumps, ladders.
Perhaps we ought to warn these goat lovers that Americans have hunting laws which allow for unlimited shooting of predatory varmints.
In unrelated news – my daughter-in-laws and grandchildren are now undergoing handgun training from a top-quality instructor. Living outside the municipal limits, range time is as simple as walking over to the gully with a target, box of shells, and weapon of choice.
Given that eldest granddaughter is already experienced in head shots on varmint which go after her chickens, this makes me very happy.
P.S. – are there photographs of said infiltrators available?
Be nice to know what these ragheads look like.
I miss doing that, I grew up with range time like that.
If only we had that border wall. Oh wait.
One of the AWOLs is was from the Little Rock area, probably the air base and C-130 training. Now has a better job working at one of his relative’s 7-11.
I never was able to figure out why we needed to bring them here to train them anyway. I mean, they aren’t fighting here, they’re fighting over there, so train them over there and not only save a shitload of money but keep their sorry asses out of America.
Because someone is making a shitload of money by training them here?
True, but training them is not even half the reason we bring them here.
Could you elaborate on that, Red? Are you talking about an under-the-table government immigration program or something else?
Think of it this way:
What’s the first thing you think when you hear that some US born child of immigrants travels back to Halfassistan to visit the homeland for a few months? Sure, they may learn to make a pressure cooker bomb, but the most important thing is the indoctrination.
At the very least while they are here they see that it is possible for people to live together without killing their neighbors (unless we send them to Chicago).
More importantly, we have complete and unobstructed access to these guys while they are here. All sorts of things could happen.
True, most of these guys just decide that Home sucks ass and head over the hill so they can stay here, but every now and then we turn LT Adel into a wfriend of the program. Not such a big deal now, but in 20 years he will be COL Adel, and we may need him to make sure the guards at the airport to be on a break when the twelve burly men in Hawaiin shirts come through customs…
Besides, there are literally millions of immigrants over here already- and some of them are reading the online edition of ‘Inspire’ as we speak…
In a related story:
44 Afghan soldiers apply for free health care in California!
We lose 44 “vetted” Afghans and then expect to keep track of several thousand unvettable middle eastern refugees? I’m running out of bullshit flags.
Not to worry. I am sure they were thoroughly vetted by the Obama administration.
My only question is are they just trying to get the heck out of A’stan or are they infiltrating?
maybe a little of both?
Really, by now they don’t have watchers on these scumbags?
Sounds like someone is complicit in this shit.
Cocksuckers.
So WTF are they doing once they went AWOL, charity work? Volunteering at rest homes and hospitals? I’d like to think they’re simply trying to escape the hellholes they came from, but given how quickly people from there change sides and alliances I fear the worst. They’re forbidden by law from owning or possessing firearms and/or ammo but we know and we’ve seen how well said laws work in preventing violence.
Check the voter roles.
…rolls.
Hmmm, stay in North America? Or go back to Afghanistan and sleep in a mud hut on the dirt. Gee, let me think….
