Catching some news on MSNBC while I cook my lunch, there is a story of three Afghan soldiers running away from one of our military bases at Cape Cod. They were here for some training. It is said that this happens sometimes. One U.S. commander is quoted as saying, “They take a bite into a hotdog and they never want to leave America.” Though, in this instance, it should be noted that they were caught trying to flee into Canada.
