Capt. Korey Fratini said Wednesday the decision to not release the names is a U.S. Air Force decision and not one that has been made by the base commander.

"It is a matter of policy," Fratini told The Valdosta Daily Times.


IOW, someone high-up in the Obama regime doesn't want Americans who they are.

"...no known means of transportation."

I guess that means that they have some unknown means. I wonder what that means?

As I suspected Monday, it’s been reported today that they haven’t been seen since Friday.

“in the interest of their personal safety and the safety of their families”

What about my personal safety?

If I had to guess, their names are probably Muhommed something, and they probably look Arab and have beards.

IIRC, they were trained as mechanics, not pilots.

Worry about your own personal safety? That’s not Who We Are!

Maybe they are Super Top Secret or something. I bet Clown Prince nobama is “servicing” them right now prior to making them Czars of Immigration.

Three Afghan soldiers left a Cape Cod military base last year before being caught trying to cross into Canada at Niagara Falls. They printed their pictures in the paper. If memory serves, they were hoping for asylum in Canada but I think they were sent back to Afghanistan.

The base commander has courageously covered his butt. “a U.S. Air Force decision and not one that has been made by the base commander. “

and that' why Air Police, are referred to as APes.

The AF hasn't had Air Police in over twenty years. They got rid of the AFSC and all are Security Forces now.

At the Valdosta Mall today, there was a huge police van and a couple cruisers near where we parked. The scope the top of the van was high, scanning the parking lots on that side. I wonder, would image so, that there were the same vehicles on the other 3 sides of the mall. Of course, we do not know for sure, but it is easy to assume that they were looking for the two renegades, and trying to make sure that no suspicious activity was going on.

They’ve been here since last February. They fly over our area during practice.

Alternatively They may have been abducted, I would be checking on their family in Afghanistan to see if they are being threatened too Two trained pilots,acting under duress can do a LOT of damage

Sounds like a plot line from Season 4 of "24"
