How long were they POWs????


I think it was over a year and a half. I didn't even know they had POW camps in Afghanistan. Seems to me they should really have some PTSD come up in some episodes.

I thought they said 11 months in the last episode. Were there even POW camps in Afghanistan?

I kinda figured they just chopped your head off.

That's pretty much what they did... If you were caught you were tortured until you died... do your status as a POW really only lasted as long as could survive. I think the only know quasi-pow from the US military was the POS that went AWOL to join the Taliban as a traitor. They didn't kill him but then he was trying to join them so it really wasn't a POW
