The War in Afghanistan is Enabling Pedophilia
October 5, 2018
--------------------------------------
But while U.S. military inaction to stop sexual abuse abroad would be be one thing, what if America was actively, even if unintentionally, funding rape abroad? And not just rape—what if American tax dollars were enabling the most deplorable sexual abuse imaginable: pedophilia?
“Selling and using young boys (often dressed as girls) for sex—known colloquially as bacha bazi, or ‘boy play’—has deep roots in Afghanistan and has been widely practiced for generations,” the National Interest’s Amitai Etzioni reported in 2017.
“A State Department report in 2010 described the extent of the problem: ‘Child abuse was endemic throughout the country, based on cultural beliefs about child-rearing, and included general neglect, physical abuse, sexual abuse, abandonment, and confined forced labor to pay off family debts.’”
Etzioni continued (emphasis added): “It also noted that ‘most child sexual abusers were not arrested.’ American officers, who share quarters with Afghan ones, report boys screaming in agony, which they were instructed to ignore.”

We need to end this now and let the Taliban take over. All pedophiles deserve what they get.
Morning, Penelope. Hope you're doing well.
That said, I wish you could have been there prior to our (US Army's) main invasion 2001. The Taliban ruled the roost meaning they raped, pillaged and crucified apostates (figuratively speaking) with impunity. There was this thing where we (the US) noticed how the "good guys" were outgunned by the Taliban years prior to our boots on the ground. See, the Taliban was running around with modernized, Russian modified long range assault rifles meaning they could kill Afghan good guys from so far away, said good guys' old Kalashnikovs couldn't reach back to hit them. So the Taliban did whatever they wanted to the people of A-Stan. Until we came along and did as the Cars said to, Shake It Up.
You know Penny, it's okay to be proud of your country, proud to be an American, I promise.
Emily?
