As a soldier and veteran of Afghanistan, we leave no one behind.


The Dallas Morning News -- The Pentagon confirmed Sunday that a U.S. soldier captured by the Taliban and shown in a video released Saturday is Pfc. Bowe R. Bergdahl, 23, of Ketchum, Idaho.

The 28-minute video shows Bergdahl in apparent good condition, with a shaved head, a stubble of beard and dressed in a traditional Afghan loose shirt and tunic.

Responding to prompts from his captors, Bergdahl calls for U.S. forces to be returned home and expresses his worry that he may never again see his family.

He was shown eating at one point and sitting cross-legged. He choked up when discussing his family and his hope to marry his girlfriend.

General Newsdcmilitary -- The number of Airmen who take on roles once held by the Marines and Soldiers increases as the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq continue. Airman 1st Class Joe Nguyen, 744th Communications Squadron infrastructure technician, is one Airman who took on such a role in a recent deployment to Afghanistan.


Photo: Airman 1st Class Joe Nguyen, 744th Communications Squadron network infrastructure technician, uses a fluke meter to test the consistency of cables on a CISCO Switch. On his first deployment to Afghanistan, from December 2008 to June 2009, Airman Nguyen served as the only certified Air Force MK-19 gunner for the Marine 201st 3rd Brigade.

When deployed as an infrastructure tech, a position which Airman Nguyen describes as a ‘‘jack-of-all-trades for communication,” he served as the only certified Air Force MK-19 gunner for the Marine 201st 3rd Brigade on his first deployment, from December 2008 to June 2009. Because he showed leadership skills and unyielding courage, he soon became the personal driver for the Marine brigade’s leadership. Airman Nguyen said that he was surprised by the level of responsibility his brigade gave him during this deployment.
