Is anyone talking about this story on the news media sites you read or the TV news programs you watch?

"A nationwide alert has been issued for 17 members of the Afghan military who have gone AWOL from an Air Force base in Texas where foreign military officers who are training to become pilots are taught English...The Afghan officers and enlisted men have security badges that give them access to secure U.S. defense installations."

FOXNews.com - EXCLUSIVE: Alert Issued for 17 Afghan Military Members AWOL From U.S. Air Force Base

They disappeared over the last 2 years and the last one disappeared in January.

Why isn't this a huge story? Even if there isn't a new disappearance, that it keeps happening, should be troublesome. Why do we lose them and where are these guys?

That would have been discussed this morning on this thread.
