Thank you for posting this. I was curious and very concerned when I first read this story. I really hope we can get him out safely, and back home to us asap.
 
I hope the very best for his safe return. Not a good situation to be in at all.
 
We need to start executing all captured Tallies, until he's returned. Burn the bodies. That'll send a clear message.
 
It was said that he walked off base without his weapon or body armor. Some say he walked away with three Afghans.

He says he was captured as he lagged behind on a patrol.

Sounds fishy to me. As though he was trying to surrender or something.

Thank God more responsible people are in charge of his rescue.

I can certainly agree with the tactics of threatening the Afgan people, unless this soldier is repatriated. Do you?

Not unless you don't care if he is killed. His safety is already compromised by our treatment of Afghan detainees.

Who said anything about Afghan detainees?

But, since you brought it up, his life is no more danger now than it would otherwise be.

So let me get this straight. To fight the war on terror, you want to resort to....terrorism. Interesting.

Dude, Afghan detainees are the fathers, the brothers, sons and cousins of the guys holding this soldier hostage. How they were treated determines how he is treated.

Then they'll simply execute him. Brilliant stratagem. :doh

Perhaps you should leave the fighting to others.....


"There were young knights among them who had never been present at a stricken field. Some could not look upon it and some could not speak and they held themselves apart from the others who were cutting down the prisoners at My Lord's orders, for the prisoners were a body too numerous to be guarded by those of us who were left. Then Jean de Rye, an aged knight of Burgundy who had been sore wounded in the battle, rode up to the group of young knights and said: 'Are ye maidens with your downcast eyes? Look well upon it. See all of it. Close your eyes to nothing. For a battle is fought to be won. And it is this that happens if you lose."
Froissart’s Chronicles, 14th century




Now I don't agree with the tactic suggested, that said. I didn't recoil in horror like a liberal to a full days work..... :lol: :2razz::2razz:

Why don't you send them a fruit basket and see if that helps?

Or we could try negotiating... Are you familiar with that term? Or would you and apdst just prefer we "KILL 'EM ALL!!!!!!"?

Mmm, yes. Cause it's either terrorism or fruit baskets. There's definitely no in between.

and I see your fruit basket and raise you

If the US are planning to send a rescue team, they should act quickly.
Tracking the hostage will get harder and harder as time passes.

You remember the last time a liberal tried that don't you?

What does it has to do with being liberal or conservative?
It's about military strategy.

Since when is killing the enemy, "terrorism"?

So, you think that if we treat Afghan prisoners good, they'll treat him good?

We don't negotiate with terrorists. Come to think of it, we've enver negotiated the release of American POW's in entire history.

So, no, let's not try negotiating.

Does it occur to you there are alternatives to meekly submitting to terrorism or rushing in like Rambo with no consideration of casualties? The limited capability for judgement that is expressed in your response is a precise example of the damage done to the safety of American soldiers by the recent Republican administration. You talk big, but ignore the fact there are people out there who you can't apprehend who are waiting to behead our troops, yet you act like this was a movie. Again I say, Thank God you are not in charge.

In regards to this missing soldier may I suggest a name to research? Garwood.

The Marines here will know of what I am referring.

Where the fvck did I say that? Are you like a coin, with only two sides to choose from?
