Sadly these 2 officers were armed, however had removed there sidearms and vests (found laying beside them) due to being in such a secure area. All our military advisors were imediately recallled back to secure US bases.
I'm curious to know the source of this information. I do hope that American soldiers routinely go armed with loaded weapons but I suspect that it is not so. I have read many accounts of how soldiers in Afghanistan (and Iraq past tense) are required to clear their weapons before entering so-called safe zones.
