Better keep checking on FR to see what happens, cuz the mainstream media sure won’t tell us while the Messiah, who bowed down in submission to jihadis, is in office.

This is the first I have heard of a US soldier having been captured in Afghanistan. Odd that I learn of it from a British paper.Same here. Prayers for him.
If Maj. Cook's suit does get a hearing this might be all our enemies will be waiting for. Not that the Taliban ever followed the Geneva Convention but it's just something else Hussein is setting out to destroy.

In Iraq I was told informally to save the last round for yourself.

Apparently, the soldier may have wandered off post alone.

Where are the days that we (as I am currently still serving) did not make statements? I guess EA Sports, Wii, Nintendo and those games have a thing to do with it, softening them mentally. Man oh man! I'm ashamed for him and his family.
The least he could do is morse code with his eyes a simple message..but they don't teach that to the soldiers nowadays. While Active Marines back in the late 80s, we knew morse code.

I thought he was a Marine....not a soldier. I know its a generic statement. But I would never call a Marine a soldier to their face. You are damn straight on target with that! I did my 4 years Marine Corps now am Army Reserves, I cringe when called a soldier, though there is nothing wrong in being a soldier, I like it, but not the same hardcorps.
