A nationwide alert has been issued for 17 members of the Afghan military who have gone AWOL from a Texas Air Force base where foreign military officers who are training to become pilots are taught English, FoxNews.com has learned.
The Afghan officers and enlisted men have security badges that give them access to secure U.S. defense installations, according to the lookout bulletin, "Afghan Military Deserters in CONUS [Continental U.S.]," issued by Naval Criminal Investigative Service in Dallas, and obtained by FoxNews.com.
The Afghans were attending the Defense Language Institute at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas. The DLI program teaches English to military pilot candidates and other air force prospects from foreign countries allied with the U.S.
"I can confirm that 17 have gone missing from the Defense Language Institute," said Gary Emery, Chief of Public Affairs, 37th Training Wing, at Lackland AFB. "They disappeared over the course of the last two years, and none in the last three months."
Each Afghan was issued a Department of Defense Common Access Card, an identification card used to gain access to secure military installations, with which they "could attempt to enter DOD installations," according to the bulletin. Base security officers were encouraged to disseminate the bulletin to their personnel.

“it might lower some subordinate’s self esteem,”
Not only that, but orders are also racist and homophobic.

Have no fear! They just met 17 Kansan women who want to be impregnated and abandoned. Then the 17 female Kansans will traipse to some other Muslim land to work for some foundation, leaving the kids with the 34 commie grandparents.
Well then, we can all breathe easier now.
If they really had nefarious intent, and have failed to act for the last two years, we are probably safe!

Great, isn’t this just wonderful. This country is being run buy treasonous b@stards.
Best way to find them is to post their pictures on tv, newspapers and, of course, FREE REPUBLIC. The American people will find them,,, unless they fled the country. What took the military so long to let us know? This is absolutely ridiculous. Too many military installations having problems. This is not a good thing.
More like Islamish names, I'd say...
You hit the nail. This is very common with students from foreign nations, especially arab nations. They come to America, get a look at what is here and defect instead of returning to a third world sh#t hole. Egypt went so far as to only send married men with children and they still lost 5 or 6 out of a 30 person class.
Now 24 hours later.....any one have an up date? Their pictures published yet - should be on bill boards across the nation....Reward! DEAD of ALIVE!

My thought exactly
Terrorists loose in the States & no [real] action, oil spill in the Gulf & no [real] action... I’m beginning to see a pattern here!

No, but I do think they went to Luckenbach, Texas, with Waylon, Willie and the boys...
