Default Afghan soldiers missing

Three Afghan military officers are reported missing from Camp Edwards on

Cape Cod. They were last seen at the Hyannis shopping mall Saturday

evening. They were taking part in a joint training exercise at the base

since September 11th.



Police and military are conducting a search. "No immediate threat" to

the public, according to officials as they were extensively vetted

before being allowed to participate in the exercise.



No panic or jumping to conclusions in the area but it's a bit strange

that they haven't shown up anywhere yet. All things are possible

including them becoming victims of foul play.



Camp Edwards is about five or six miles from Kingman Yacht Center where

I used to have the boats.


Camp Edwards is where I went, in February, to practice with the 105mm howitzer in preparation for the 196th Light Infantry Brigade's deployment to Vietnam. Nearly froze my balls off.

BTW, they found the Afghans, trying to visit Canada.
