3 troops "missing" - Serious turn for the worse

This is bad news. If the insurgents start capturing US troops, this is a deadly serious turn in the wrong direction. As G Gordon Libby said: "If you have them by the balls, the hearts and minds will soon follow." This bold capture of US troops is a direct shot to the groin. The question is: What is happening or has happened to these soldiers? Depending on the answer to that question, the will of the people who still believe in this war will be strongly tested, perhaps even shattered. As for the rest of us, the reality based community, we don't need to be told how serious this is.
