More than half a dozen military trainees from Afghanistan have disappeared over the course of about two weeks.
They were training at U.S. bases, including Fort Gordon in Augusta and Fort Benning near Columbus.
“It’s concerning and legitimately so,” Georgia State University security and counterterrorism expert Robert Friedmann said.
Seven trainees went AWOL from bases so far this month. Friedmann says he doesn’t think the timing is a coincidence.
“It's fairly likely that it was coordinated, because that's too much of a coincidence,” he said.
