CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. -- U.S. authorities are searching for two Indian soldiers who disappeared from Camp Pendleton during a military training exercise.

Defense Department officials said Friday that the soldiers have been missing since March 20, the final day of a 30-day training exercise with the Pendleton-based 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit.

Why did they have to add in the word Indian instead of just using "soldiers" like they do with all other soldiers?

  1. The full article pointed out that these soldiers, who are missing, are citizens of India, not the US, so I would assume there might be international implications to their disappearance.

  2. Thank you very much for pointing that out. I think I'm doing way too much reading!
