Man, I don't know. Not on 9/11. I don't think his superiors would approve of such a trip. They won't even let the military go out on normal, day-to-day missions on 9/11 in afghanistan without an additional level of approval by the big wigs.

But hey, maybe this guy was so loved in the community he felt no danger. As said before, there are some hidden puppeteers here, and they used the protesters as cover, I doubt the locals were involved directly in his death
