View Full Version : Seven Soldiers
Just a small story in the Army Times today.
In almost eight years of war PFC Bergdahl joins a list of only seven soldiers.
Only seven soldiers have been listed as missing or captured. Five of those have been found dead.
Sgt Ahmed Altaie is still listed as missing and PFC Bergdahl has been seen alive in a released video.
In a way it's a small number...yet it's a large one as well.
May we find and rescue our two remaining Soldiers and bring them home.

You know, I have a lot of sympathy for the families of these two soldiers.
However, both were captured while wandering off-base, by themselves, on personal business.
In case you missed it, and are in the Army in either OIF or OEF, DO NOT GO OFF THE COMPOUND ON YOUR OWN. THERE ARE BAD PEOPLE OUT THERE!!!

They seem to have dropped the story pretty quickly.
Military finds remains of last missing soldier in Iraq
http://fayobserver.com/articles/2012/02/27/1160310?sac=fo.military
"BEIRUT - The U.S. military has recovered the remains of the last U.S. service member missing in Iraq, ending a nearly six-year ordeal involving shadowy militants and a tragic love story, his family said Sunday.
About 1 a.m. Sunday, a U.S. officer knocked on the door of the family home in Ann Arbor, Mich., with news that Army Staff Sgt. Ahmed Altaie was confirmed dead. The officer had no details yet on how or when he died, said Entifadh Qanbar, Altaie's uncle and an aide to Iraqi politician Ahmad Chalabi. Altaie was the last U.S. soldier unaccounted for in Iraq.................."
The book is closed on the missing - except of course Bergdahl.
