Three Afghan soldiers went missing in Cape Cod during a training exercise over the weekend, and police and military officials are scrambling to find any clues that will help bring the men back.
There were no details to report on the search, Lt. Col. James Sahady of the Massachusetts National Guard told The Associated Press Monday.
U.S. military officials said the Afghanistan National Army officers had been participating in a U.S. Central Command Regional Cooperation training exercise at Joint Base Cape Cod. They arrived at Camp Edwards on Sept. 11 and were last seen Saturday at the Cape Cod Mall in Hyannis, an off day for the program.
The soldiers were reporting missing by base security personnel on Saturday night. They were identified as Maj. Jan Mohammad Arash, Capt. Mohammad Nasir Askarzada, and Capt. Noorullah Aminyar.
The Afghan the soldiers pose no threat to the public, military officials said.

Gotta admit, given a choice of disappearing in the USA or returning to the hell hole to be abandoned by Obozo, I would choose the former.
That said, they still need to be found regardless of the threat they pose.
The cape has only 3 or 4 exit routes. Bourne bridge, Sagamore bridge or by boat or plane. Should make finding them a little easier.
“I feel much better now”
You should feel worse. Individual soldiers would desert for a number of reasons. Officers, deserting together, probably have a purpose.
No threat until they blow something/someone/s up.
In which case it will be Bush's fault. Or Goodell's.
If it wasn’t planned, there should be less to worry about, but I imagine that if it was planned and they left the cape before their absence was noted, or had a boat pick up arranged.
Anybody check Ptown, the Cape’s land of fruits and nuts?
Perhaps Disney World was on their bucket list.
Agreed.
I ran a few IMET programs at one time and we would usually loose a couple of mid-east officers during each training class. . .they would walk-off/run-away when faced with going back to some hell-hole when here in the states, especially Texas (San Antonio) they were surrounded by beautiful women and fun and freedom and all sorts of pleasures.
“I always wanted to see Montana.”
This “escape” was too easy. Maybe we can hold the government responsible for any death, destruction or plot to harm Americans in which these three officers will most likely take part as a result. We are so screwed.
If they party with that one that are goners!
Death by sensory overload; free government money!
That’s the first place I would look!
lol
If you left a third/fourth world chithole and found yourself in a heavenly place would you want to go back?
“...military officials are scrambling to find any clues that will help bring the men back.”
I just read this out loud to Mrs. panax and she jumped in with...”Why the hell are they ‘scrambling” to find them if they’re no threat?”
That's what the pre-written, fill-in-the-blank press release says.
Unfortunately, they will fit right in anywhere in this god-forsaken commonweatlh
Don’t worry about missing Afghan army officers being trained in U.S.?
REMEMBER FORT HOOD TERRORIST MASSACRE...
Maj. Nidal Hassan, an army Muslim psychiatrist, in 2009 opened fire at Fort Hood, Texas, killing 13 people and wounding 31 others. All but one of the dead were soldiers, including a pregnant private who curled on the floor and pleaded for her baby’s life. The attack ended only when Hasan was shot in the back by an officer responding to the shooting. Hasan is paralyzed from the waist down and uses a wheelchair.
After being the terrorist attack classified as Workplace violence by Obama’s administration (in order to deny the victims proper compensation), the murderer, Maj. Hassan, “a soldier of Allah” as he described himself, was receiving his salary, several hundred thousand dollars, while waiting trial. He was sentence to death in 2013 and is still alive and receiving top medical care at taxpayer expense while our veteran heroes lack the proper medical care they deserve.
