Why are we training Afghan soldiers here?

Quote:
National Guard officials confirm to FOX 25 that 3 Afghan National Army Soldiers have gone missing from Joint Base Cape Cod.

Maj. Jan Mohammad Arash, Capt. Mohammad Nasir Askarzada, and Capt. Noorullah Aminyar were reported missing by base security Saturday night and have not been seen since.

The three men were on Cape Cod for training exercises. Joint Base Cape Cod is working with state and local authorities are working to locate the three men.

Because we're idiots. And because we will never learn our lesson until it's staring us right in the face and we can't ignore it anymore.

Not only are we training the enemy, we are transporting them onto the very soil they want to destroy. I wonder how many more Afghans are in the US being trained to destroy this country? Since the US will be arming and training the "moderate rebels" in Syria, can we expect the US to be transporting some of them to this country for training? The last time we armed and trained "moderate rebels" in Syria the outcome was ISIS.

Good to know that they are not an IMMEDIATE threat. I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens before they are considered an ACTUAL threat.

This country is in so much trouble.

Well, here in Texas, we train pilots from the Middle East. I am sure some mean well, but their background checks are horrible.

They were found at the Canadian border near Niagra Falls.

But yes, the question remains, why are we training them here?

The weekend before these guys went missing, two Afghan police officers that were also training here went missing in DC. They were later found in Buffalo, so basically the same place these 3 Afghans were found. Were they all just trying to defect for a better life or is there something going on?

Because someone decided long ago that it was the thing to do.


Foreign Military Training and DoD Engagement Activities of Interest

A more specific illustration:

"The German Air Force has been training its aircrews in the United States since 1958."

I imagine that the German air force may have similarly raised a few eyebrows in the 1950s.

It's kind of funny watching conservatives lose their damn mind if someone from the middle east does anything. It's like Chicken Little about terrorist attacks. Look, that arab scratch his nose...it's a signal for the next 9/11!
