Col. Todd Breasseale, a spokesman for NATO and U.S. forces in Afghanistan.The two Navy personnel went missing Friday in the eastern province of Logar, after an armored sport utility vehicle was seen driving into a Taliban-held area. The Taliban have said they killed one of the two men in a firefight, captured the other and are holding him in a "safe place" where he will not be found.http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38424239/ns/world_news-south_and_central_asia/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 It sounds like they took a vehicle and went for a joy ride into town. A really bad idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InyaAzz Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Just doesn't make any sense. They had to be from a unit with NO discipline. Why two soldiers would go that far off base in a civilian vehicle ..just boggles the mind. Unless they were looking for 'something' and got horribly lost.

chevysoldier Posted July 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Not to be biased, but they were sailors, not soldiers or marines. They may not have realized the gravity of their situation or location. They also may have been after contraband such as alcohol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InyaAzz Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 ..that's where I was going with the 'no discipline' and 'looking for something' comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
