No Indication Abduction Took Place, Soldier Arrested

This just makes me physically sick if he faked his own kidnapping. We have a young soldier in the hands of the Taliban and his fate is in serious jeopardy. How dare this guy fake something like this? If I was his mom he'd be sorry. Hopefully the army will take care of his sorry arse.

Establish the court martial and give the coward what he has coming. Too bad it ain't the $100,000 he was trying to steal from the government....

If you are so tough down in Texas, why are you in Texas? Get your gun-toting asses to afghanistan...Mexicans are the hardest workers...its the white trash that are lazy and stupid... the only thing worse than a Texan, is a meth-head from Alabama. Take your rock smoking, zombie worshipping asses to the real fight... IN AFGHANISTAN! Actually, if you know what you are talking about, you'd know that Pharmaceutical companies are funding this war to gain 100% control of the Opium trade. Ever here of the Dutch East India Trading Company? Thats America!

Good question; yet no you do not have to be a US citizen to join the Military any more, in fact they use it as a path to citizenship. Also we now have people at approximately 30% in combat who are on Psychiatric Medications. That has been one of the sore points with Service Members and Officers for the last 5 years.--------------------------------------------Heliapple 06:24 PMJul 23 2009 I read some of the post here and I am confused. First, I thought you had to be a U.S. Citizen in order to join the military. Also, a person said he was "disturbed"? I thought a person was evaluated prior to joining the military.

IT'S COWARDLY PUNKS LIKE THIS THAT CASTS A SHADOW ON THE MILITARY. COURT MARTIAL THIS PUNK AND THROW HIM IN THE BRIG FOR 50 YEARS. THERE IS NOTHING MORE SLEEZY THAN A PUNK LIKE THIS. THE HOODLUM PROBABLY HAD A RAP SHEET AS LONG AS YOUR ARM.
