You will NOT believe some of the posts on this thread. I cannot believe many of the posters on this thread are really freepers. This thread reads like DU. I would have never believed in a million years freepers would trash a member of our military like this without waiting for more facts. Seeing is believing and I am seeing more and more threads on FR where military members are not given even a tiny benefit of a doubt but instead are heaped on like this.

I would just like to add to all, my prayers are with the Major and her family, as well as my support.

I have to go pick up my daughter but will reply to some of these posts when I return.

Female U.S. Air Force major is found in Kyrgyzstan
LEILA SARALAYEVA
Associated Press

BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan - A U.S. Air Force officer who went missing earlier this week near the Kyrgyz capital was found alive and told police in the Central Asian nation she had been kidnapped, officials said Saturday.

Maj. Jill Metzger, 33, knocked on the door of a house in Kant, a town about 22 miles from the capital, Bishkek, shortly before midnight Friday and told its residents that she had been kidnapped, Kyrgyz Deputy Interior Minister Omurbek Suvanaliyev said.

Metzger, who disappeared while shopping for souvenirs in Bishkek on Tuesday, told Kyrgyz law enforcement agents she had been abducted by three young men and a woman in a minibus and held in a rural area about 50 kilometers (30 miles) from Bishkek, Suvanaliyev told The Associated Press, citing local police in Kant.

She was exhausted and her hair had been dyed, he said.

Earlier, Metzger's father-in-law, Kelly Mayo, told The Associated Press in Colorado Springs, Colorado, that the Air Force's Office of Special Investigations said she was found on the side of the road with her head shaven - and he also indicated she had been kidnapped and beaten.

There has been a bit much of the rush to speculate around here, lately, without the application of fact.

Closet DU'ers and cross dressers is my guess.

You weren't around for the Jessica Lynch thread 3 years ago. That was a pip.

... I cannot believe many of the posters on this thread are really freepers. ...

What about if you realize how easy it is to join FR? What if DUmmies join up just to pretend to be the embodiment of their caricature perception? Could you believe thats happening?
