My Comment: I thought I heard everything .... but this takes the cake. The solution to this problem is easy .... if Afghan soldiers come to the U.S. and go AWOl, treat them the same way that U.S. soldiers are treated. You go to jail, and in the case of these Afghan soldiers, be deported back home.

For me .... I find this news unbelievable. Why are we fighting in a country when the men of that country are not willing to fight for it .... sighhh .... this situation is becoming more and more galling with every passing day.
