The Forgotten Soldier


Whatever happened to the hunt for the kidnapped American soldier Ahmed Qusai al-Taei?

Why aren't we hearing anything about this guy in the media or from our government? Kinda belies the whole "No Man Left Behind" ethos.

And why didn't the media outlets ever show a picture of him in his military uniform like they do for just about every other missing soldier? Did the military not give them such a picture? Or does the media have it and chose not to use it?

The standard picture shown by the media appears to be the one from al-Taei's wedding released by his family and shown above. The only picture of him from the military I could find is the one below which appears to have been released on November 2nd well after the wedding picture from the family.
