Rangers,

My buddy is a sailor stationed in that area. I'm not trying to stir the rumor mill, but allegedly they took a hummer without permission out for a joy ride and never came back.

RIP

News reports are that it was a Toyota Landcruiser not a Humvee but the news has been known to get it all wrong on more than one occasion.

In Kabul it would have been normal to see Coalition forces in Ford Rangers or Toyota landcruisers. of one sort or another locally in 2007. But now I think that is farking suicide period.
