Which one

 

KABUL (AP) — US military spokeswoman says insurgents have captured an American soldier in eastern Afghanistan.

Capt. Elizabeth Mathias said the soldier has been missing since Tuesday. She said she could not provide further information.

Mathias said the military was using "all our resources to find him and provide for his safe return."

The soldier was not taking part in the major military operation launched in the southern Taliban stronghold of Helmand early Thursday.

 

Sadly I think the poor bloke won't be seeing home again. RIP.

A f*cking nightmare scenario for any NATO/alliance soldier caught by the Taliban, RIP.

Milsum, apologies, I think these came in out of turn which made me read it out of context. A costly week.

 

Eh? Whether you are jewish, christian, islamist, there's only one sky fairy. He just has a different style of beard depending upon your family culture.

 

ALL of them........if lighting a candle to Mars and Minerva would do the trick - whose got the matches?

Two ways to look at this - fingers crossed for a swift release either way.

My thoughts and prayers with the soldier, and his family and colleagues.
