My first question is... why are ANA soldiers on a National Guard/Coast Guard base?

My next question is... how the hell do you lose ANA soldiers? Were they allowed POVs? Did they wander off into the woods? (If they wandered off into the woods at that base, the coyotes will probably find them before anyone else does..)

*** Warning people living south and west of Groton CT, MAY not get this, and that's OK! ***

They needed a wild weekend out at P-town.

Now what would possess them to go to Canada? Are the beer and hockey that much better there?

They were attempting to claim political asylum. Why they went from Cape Cod all the way to Niagara is a mystery - crossing by Rouses Point or through the Awkwasnee (sp?) Nation near Massena would have been better ideas. Or just going north through Maine.

Several articles mentioned a chaperone, so whatever happened to the chaperone during their authorized visit to the mall?

Unless I'm mistaken, there was one escort for the 12 ANA personnel.

Don't be surprised if you learn some idiot gave them permission to leave base and they promised to be back tomorrow. That happened to me when I was working RC12 in Garmisch. A COL of a Central Asian country asked permission to go see his poor, sick mother who lived in Germany. He promised to be back the next day. An idiot COL, not realizing that a Central Asian COL generally equals an American SPC decided that would be fine without asking my advice. He was gone the entire week.

"The Department of Defense has not officially released photos to the public of the missing soldiers. State and local officials have also not been provided with official photos and it’s unclear whether they will given any to work with.."

Why would their pictures not be shared with any state agencies? That doesn't make any sense to me.

These men were officers. Not privates or 2lt who get lost on the regular. Someone either took them or they are up to no good.

Well we don't need to worry about terrorists sneaking into the country anymore, we just invite them over.

The government should be trying very hard to find these guys! Its crazy! Makes you wonder should we be bringing them to US soil? They are very corrupt and as a whole you can't tell if someone is a terrorist in disguise.

To answer your first question, Regional Cooperation 2014. We have forces from a variety of nations here for a week long training exercise. You can find more info here: https://www.facebook.com/notes/massachusetts-national-guard-the-nations-first/regional-cooperation-2014-media-visit-at-camp-edwards-september-19-2014/ [login to see] 159375

Unfortunately I have nothing for you on your second question. Hopefully they turn up soon we we're able to determine how it happened!

The statement from the Mashpee Police Chief reads like a TV commercial script for Zachary's and sounds almost like it's out of an article in the Onion
