I haven’t seen BDU’s in at least 3 years.
They could have stolen the clothes or perhaps the military somehow got an aid package to him.
BDUs? In 2009 {the reported date} I am unaware of any branch [still] wearing BDUs. Even the National Guard got ACUs prior to 2008.
That alone piques at the consistancy.
Isn’t this the kid that was lured outside the wall by a friendly Iraqi?
He's terrified and probably will say or do whatever the barbarians want him to say or do. It's obviously staged to taunt the US. Perhaps they want to trade him for US Taliban prisoners? However, I doubt that they could be trusted to keep their end of any deal they would make with the US.
Just because the MSM tells us it is a captured soldier doesn’t make it so. You raise very good points to consider. I never completely trust what is reported in the MSM. It could be staged using an American Muslim convert and sympathizer, a soldier gone native, etc. Who knows at this point? All I know is the MSM are dupes and will easily and unwittingly report fraudulence as truth.
I questioned his first video and figured him to be a Taliban sympathizer.........he was in too good of health and too clean under the alleged circumstances.
Where are the pics ? I can’t find any. TIA
From what I’ve heard is that almost any US Army uniform item is available from the street sellers in Baghdad.
He looks too relaxed to me..not stressed at all!! An American POW would be tied up and not have as much freedom as he has.
The story says he left his base without a vest or weapon...possibly to see a woman, with 3 Afghan soldiers. Something about that seems problamatic to me...but I dunno. Maybe he had some of these uniform items at his ‘girlfriend’s’ house. The soft cap could have been in his pocket. The sweatshirt doesn’t make any sense though....also, it looks like he has gained weight?
but, although things seem weird, he is obviously over his head now...and I hope he gets home.
Army surplus store?
