Captured US soldier is not a big deal to the US army since they have other thousands of them to deploy to Afghanistan and get killed for no good cause. It is not a secret anymore that the US army is persuing an evil agenda of having military bases all over the world and then black-mail other states into the US terms i.e being forced to accept US expansion. And in Afghanistan the US army is not doing any good but only fueling the Pashtuns who are the Taliban into becoming a ticking bomb. Plus there are many reasons why the US invaded Afghanistan; stratigic interest, gas pipeline, military expansion, secretly preaching their evangelical christianity, western style democracy which is man-made system, capitalism and a lot more reasons behind the US real agenda for Afghans and the region as a whole. So what about this soldier? Is he going to be killed or released? Only Allah knows best; the US nor the Taliban know what will happen to him. But one thing is clear and that is this US soldier got a good treat from his hosts i.e the Taliban. He should embrace Islam since he is still breathing; not to become released for his acceptance of Islam but for his own good in this life and in the hereafter. However, the Taliban will make up their mind in the end. The world will find out; but the world is not too concerned wiht this soldier. They all love materiasilm and false warship.
