And we thought that “illegals” from Mexico were a problem. We just had 17 Afghanistan air force pilots that were brought here legally to study English at Lackland AFB Texas go AWOL with security badges in hand! Will we ever learn?

Did we just openly invite in a new group of terrorists into our country? And why could we not teach them English right there in their home country?

You'd think that "Afghan pilots" would raise an eyebrow or two in the personnel department before transfers/training like this is approved..

Wheeeeeee, way to go, REMF.

Well the article said they were training to be pilots and Lackland AFB is a training site for pilots, even if it wasn't explicitly stated in the piece.

what are we supposed to do when we have a president that thinks we should be nice and hold hands around the camp fire?
what are we supposed to do when our military is threatened with law suits
if they make one wrong move towards to enemy?
what are we supposed to do when a terroist in the army shoots down our troops on our soil and he gives shouts out to his buddies
Hell, he can not even say we have an enemy
go 'bama~

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

A nationwide alert has been issued for 17 members of the 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, FoxNews.com has learned.

The Afghan officers and enlisted men have badges that give them access to secure U.S. defense installations, according to the lookout bulletin, "Afghan Military Deserters in CONUS [Continental U.S.]," issued by Naval Criminal Investigative Service in Dallas, and obtained by FoxNews.com.

Major Hassan...........and now this.... and don't forget the Muslim soldier that lobbed a grenade into the tent of his own fellow soldiers at the beginning of the Iraq war.


How much more proof do we need to see that Islam comes before patriotism to a Muslim. When will we learn that they require extra scrutiny or total ejection from our armed forces. How many freakin' Trojan horses do we have in in our armed forces, right now??? Hundreds?? Thousands just waiting to go off??

I know the "yeah buts" are coming. But this will be the death of us! Sometimes you cannot worry about what people think.


No tellin' what these 17 have planned!
