In a FOXNEWS exclusive the U.S. Army is planning to kick out Sgt. 1st Class Charles Martland for shoving an Afghan pedophile who just happened to be an Afghan police commander. The alleged pedophile rapist, identified as Abdul Rahman, has not yet been charged with a crime. The American trained Rahman was said to be practicing the ancient Afghan act of “Bacha Bazi” and beating up the mother of the victim after she reported the rape.

In Afghanistan, “Bacha Bazi” is a term attached to any activity that involves an adult sexually preying on a child. It includes child pornography, sexual slavery and child prostitution in whichprepubescent and adolescent boys are sold to wealthy or powerful men for entertainment and sexual activities. This form of pederasty has been prevalent in Central Asia since ancient times. And although it is considered not Islamic, the practice continues in central Asia

Sgt. 1st Class Charles Martland is an 11 year, highly decorated vet serving in the elite Green Berets. The 32-year-old Sgt. Martland from Massachusetts, who wants to remain in the military, is set for an involuntary discharge from the Army before Nov. 1, 2015. Martland has been described by many of his teammates as the finest soldier they have ever served alongside. He was on his second tour in Afghanistan when the incident occurred. During this deployment he and his Detachment Commander we aware of the abuse of power by two police commanders; one ‘for the rape of a 15-year-old girl,” and the other “for the honor killing of a commander’s 12-year-old daughter for kissing a boy.” Neither was held accountable by the Afghan government. The American soldiers believed that they could no longer stand by and allow the American trained police to commit atrocities against children.

“I disagree. We need good people to hang in there, stem the tide as much as they can, and make their way into leadership positions.”

I would agree with your statement, but the emerging culture in the military is one that excludes those good people from leadership positions. Instead they find themselves targeted as SGT Martland is.
