Number of Marines Captured in Iraq and Afghanistan Combined: zero (though we had one go native).
Number of Army Personnel Captured.... still rising.
again, come on down to the thread in the warfare forum.
i remember one time we were out combing for three Army guys who had gotten snatched, when over the radio (platoon net) we started up trying to figure out how they'd gotten captured in the first place. I was the CLIC, so I explained that they had been in a convoy that got hit by an IED, and the rest of the convoy had sped up, driven off, and not come back for the downed vic for almost half an hour. Platoon Sgt was furious, wanted to know if the Convoy Commander was going to get court-martialed, etc.
I had to explain that it turned out that that was actually the units SOP for dealing with an IED attack... long pause, and then a (unidentified) long-suffering voice came over the net; "Well, if they're going to be retarted, I say **** em". you kinda had to be there, and looking back it was pretty ****ty of us considering those guys were for all we knew being tortured at that moment, but we laughed until we cried.
