Travis, for Christ's sakes-you are an ex-military man...may I ask you what kind of POS orders of the day exist that allow soldiers to drive around hostile territory as if in the States? Are the brass ignoring the fact we are fighting a guerilla war on the ground and not issuing such orders of the day that would protect our troops for political reasons?

"OK, guys, while off duty have fun, be safe"? What the f*ck is going on here?

Yes, I think someone has some answering to do.

Good question. I suspect these soldiers were not authorized to be in their unescorted vehicle at that place and time. There are quite a few orders young soldiers find ways of sidestepping.
