#1 I cannot entirely blame these guys for taking the chance. Of the Afghans I have met currently living in the US, their nostalgia for their home country is worth a good five seconds of nostalgic reverie, and that's about it.

#3 I think the point I was making with this post was that these guys should have been restricted to base, NOT given ID badges that permit them access to ANY other installation. This, of course, notwithstanding any potential security risk of these guys being security risks of a different sort.

This scenario exemplifies the lax security within our government & military, imho.
