Two Afghan trainees are missing from Moody Air Force Base in Georgia.

Both men were being trained in aircraft maintenance. Trainees are allowed to go off base on the weekends, and they failed to report back to the program Monday.

The military has no reason to believe they present a threat to anyone, said Karns. They were screened by both the U.S. and the government of Afghanistan before their arrival in the United States more than a year ago, he said. Karns added that he has no reason to believe they're armed and there are no reports of missing weapons.

The two had been at Moody since February 2015 as part of the training program aimed at improving the Afghanistan air force, according to the base's statement.

They probably just wandered into their first strip bar and have been too drunk and excited to leave.They'll be back when they run out of dollars to tip the girls.

The female shooter in San Bernardino was also screened, so I'm guessing they're harmless.

Definitely the kind of superior mechanics I want working on the plane I'm a passenger on.

If you got a taste of life in America would YOU want to go back to Afghanistan after training? Not me. I'd change my name to Juan and go work for a landscaper or something under the radar.

This happens pretty regularly, 99.99999999999999% of the time the missing trainees discovered the joys of America: McDonald's, pizza, movie theaters, shopping malls, strip clubs, etc and want to enjoy it.
