Driving to work this a.m., I heard on a local AM radio station about two Afghan trainees who have not been seen at Fort Benning since Labor Day weekend and have now been labeled AWOL.

Have done a couple of searches and not found previous posts.

You’re a bigot and Islamophobic if you’re worried about this.

I am not worried about this situation. As a friend once shared with me over 25 years ago, “You didn’t cause it. You can’t control it. And you sure as h$ll can’t fix it.”

And I am loudly and proudly in the “basket of deplorables”!

“What could go wrong?”

They take their training and set up heroin cartels back home, like Los Zetas?
