Horror: U.S. Soldiers Told to Ignore Sexual Abuse of Boys by Afghan Allies

[Acebb]

This is just brutal:
"He was relieved of his command after he fought an Afghan commander for keeping a boy chained to a bed as a sex slave"

In September 2011, an Afghan woman, visibly bruised, showed up at an American base with her son, who was limping. One of the Afghan police commanders in the area, Abdul Rahman, had abducted the boy and forced him to become a sex slave, chained to his bed, the woman explained. When she sought her son’s return, she herself was beaten. Her son had eventually been released, but she was afraid it would happen again, she told the Americans on the base.

She explained that because “her son was such a good-looking kid, he was a status symbol” coveted by local commanders, recalled Mr. Quinn, who did not speak to the woman directly but was told about her visit when he returned to the base from a mission later that day.

So Captain Quinn summoned Abdul Rahman and confronted him about what he had done. The police commander acknowledged that it was true, but brushed it off. When the American officer began to lecture about “how you are held to a higher standard if you are working with U.S. forces, and people expect more of you,” the commander began to laugh.

I picked him up and threw him onto the ground,” Mr. Quinn said. Sergeant Martland joined in, he said. “I did this to make sure the message was understood that if he went back to the boy, that it was not going to be tolerated,” Mr. Quinn recalled.

My immediate reaction is that America needs to tell the leaders of Afghanistan that we have spent a lot of blood and treasure over the last 13 years trying to help them but it is time to leave. I'd also inform them that if another terrorist attack is originated from their country, they will no longer be part of civilization.

I'm also kind of tired of hearing about Islam being a religion like any other...

No longer part of civilization? I submit they’ve never been civilized. Evolution has passed them by.

These sick bastards love to fuck the little boys:

Who the fuck gives the orders to ignore this? Soldiers hearing little boys screaming at night. This is some sad shit.

Here's the really fun part of this story, Obama & Kerry, 'Citizens of the Globe' are planning to open its doors to more
than 200,000 of those Muslims who fled to Europe seeking asylum. Of those In 2014 Syria became the top country of
origin among those seeking asylum in the EU Afghanistan was in the 2nd slot. How many of these will Obama bring
bring here with there odd customs such as the one discussed in this thread, my guess brace yourselves, way too many!

[h=1]Marines Trained That Rape in Afghanistan Is a ‘Cultural’ Issue[/h]
The training guide supports allegations by Marines and Army soldiers in recent days that they’ve been told not to intervene to prevent sexual assault in Afghanistan, including the rape and sexual enslavement of children on U.S. bases. Senior military officials, including the general in charge of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, have been forced to respond to what critics say is a policy of remaining silent in the face of crimes committed by Afghan officials trained and supported by the U.S., crimes that would send American service members to prison.

The result is many troops find themselves stuck in a policy defined by its ambiguity, even now, 14 years into the U.S. war there. Indeed, it is nearly impossible to find a service member who has served in Afghanistan who has not witnessed or heard of such abuse—and struggled to know how to respond.

Sexual abuse of young children isn’t prosecuted like sexual assault under U.S. military law, a fact that the training session notes in considerable detail.

In Afghanistan, “victims can go to jail for adultery, homosexuality, and other crimes—even though they were the victim of sexual assault,” the script for the training course says. The same holds true in Iraq and Saudi Arabia, the script notes.

Rape of children on US bases, that's Obama's administration for you.

That holds true in most of the countries over there. Girls are stoned to death for dishonoring the family name after being raped by their brothers.

This isn't a good sign:

Even as the U.S. military denies reports that American troops were told to ignore Afghan child abusers, an 11-year Green Beret who was ordered discharged after he confronted an alleged rapist was informed Tuesday that the Army has denied his appeal.
Sgt. 1[SUP]st[/SUP] Class Charles Martland earlier this year was ordered discharged by Nov. 1. He has been fighting to stay in, but in an initial decision, the U.S. Army Human Resources Command told Martland that his appeal “does not meet the criteria” for an appeal.
“Consequently, your request for an appeal and continued service is disapproved,” the office wrote in a memo to Martland.
