No, those trees are indigenous to both Afghanistan and Pakistan, thus aren't out of place. If I had to guess, I would assume that his is in Pakistan, or at the very least, Taliban controlled Afghanistan, near the border with Pakistan.

How many Taliban prisoners have been beheaded?
Special Forces should be sent in to retrieve this soldier.

willing to bet they are treating him better than our America military is treating the prisoners we have. And they are the supposed "bad guys" yet they only cut heads off and get it over with quick. We ( the Americans) use dozens of torture methods. cause as much pain and fear possible with out killin.I would rather get beheaded than to be striped, attacked by dogs, almost drowned over and over again, locked in dark rooms not being left to sleep having ppl force me to do things that destroy my religious views and make me dishonorable in my gods eyes. . Being humiliated constantly. Im American and it hurts me to say i feel much worse for all the innocent ppl the US took as prisoners for little or no reason other than being in the wrong place at the wrong time than i do for the Americans taken prisioner, To be completely honest, if another country invaded America, i would be in the streets with home made IEDs and any guns i could get my hands on and be returning fire, thats all these ppl are doing at this point is defending there homes and there familys. We have no right to be on there land killing there ppl.
