I don’t think we actually need a “why” explained to us. POTUS recently provided us with an adequate description for the fecal well of humanity from which they were spawned.
Out of the more than 200 Afghan military trainees who have gone absent without leave in the United States as of February, only a dozen remain at large, immigration officials told Military Times.
“As of Feb. 21, 2019, 228 international military students from Afghanistan have been identified as AWOL,” said Carissa Cutrell, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman. “These are across the U.S.”
“ICE’s Counterterrorism and Criminal Exploitation Unit continues to monitor the remaining 12 AWOL cases for future enforcement actions,” Cutrell added.
The number of Afghans who have been reported AWOL in the U.S. has increased by 50 percent over the last two years.
Between 2005 and 2017, more than 2,500 Afghan military personnel came to the U.S. for training. During that timeframe, 152 Afghans went AWOL, according to a U.S. government watchdog report in October 2017.
The real story should read something like, “Only 152 Afghans came to their senses while training in the U.S.” Or words to that effect.
Military Times requested more information from immigration officials after it was announced that the Pentagon ended a training program for Afghan pilots in Fort Worth, Texas, because more than half went AWOL.
Let that be a lesson to those of you who make light of Pilots, half of them are not as dumb as they look.
The phenomenon of AWOL foreign military students is neither new, nor limited to Afghan trainees.
However, Afghans were found to make up nearly half of all foreign military trainees that went AWOL while training in the U.S. since 2005, according to the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction.
Shocked face fatigue.
Company-grade officers — with the rank of lieutenant or captain — were the most common trainees to go AWOL, according to the report.
Given the key role company-grade officers play in providing direct leadership to their NCOs and younger enlisted personnel, the trend of defection among them was concerning, as it could negatively impact morale back home, according to SIGAR.
Only half of the leadership is willing to risk a chance at freedom over returning to a life in a vertical dung entrenchment, of course, morale is negatively impacted.

I posted up about the Afghan pilots last week, so it’s no surprise others coming here for training also have second thoughts about going back to the ME. And really, who can blame them?
Makes one wonder if that was their plan all along. Get picked for training in the US, go AWOL and disappear into the woodwork of ME people already sucking up to the sugar teat that is American now. Here’s a novel idea for these parasites. Finish the training that the taxpayers of America paid for, go back home, and work on changing YOUR country from a sh^thole, instead of trying to drag the US down to your level.
I would be curious to know just how much we have spent in the ME, just in the last 18 years, and how much of that was skimmed off the top by graft, corruption, and pure waste. I won’t even peel the scab of the lost lives and troops that got f’ed up, physically and emotionally on that tarbaby.
Get us the eff out!
Your own acestors came here from shitholes that they didn’t want to bother trying to make better.
Ponder that when you make your accusations….
My own ancestors were a mix of indentured Scots/Irish Servants with a little Muskogean Creek thrown in. We have served this Country in every conflict since the Rev War.
Not.one.single.deserter/AWOL.
Give them a break, seven-eleven’s need workers.
Indians have that market locked. At least Joe Biden thinks so.
That dog in the above picture looks like he/she had a RUFF day/grin
There was a time when they would have stuck out and been easily identified.
Not any more.
Is that racist?
These peeps should go legit and open up Afghan rug making shops. Ever see the prices on those Afghan rugs. Stick to rugs but no carpets or you’ll end up on the carpet in trouble.
