'“Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs.”

--Charles James Napier

As an adviser embedded with a Saudi unit in Desert Storm (15 of us in a Battalion) I was told that due to their tribal nature not to be surprised if some prisoners were treated very well and even released while others might be tortured and murdered.

We were reminded of our responsibilities under the Geneva and Hague Conventions but also cautioned that reporting, or even acknowledging that crimes had been committed might result in us being buried in the same hole as the victim.

I did my Ray Charles impression... I didn't see nuffin.

We are not allowed to judge, whether the savages be in Afghanistan or Newark NJ. Let them stew in their own filth; evil Christians should hold their tongues./s

Some higher ups need to be indicted and tried as accessories.

It is a bit astonishing that the New York Times is publishing this.

My son-in-law did a tour over there and was revolted by this, as are all our guys. He didn’t come back with a high opinion of Afghan men.

My Reservist coworker got deployed to Afghanistan as an infantryman at the village level. He told us about “Man-Boy Love Thursday” when Afghan men with money went searching for bacha bazi boys. He was sickened by the practice but could do nothing about it.

When I naively asked why the men weren’t searching for young women, he replied that Islam teaches men to distrust women & to revile women for their bodily nature.

“Women for babies, boys for pleasure” once again.

One more step towards total immorality accelerated by the Community Organizer from Chicago, and his masters, expressing the drive to totally destroy Western Civilization. A task they are well on their way to achieving-with the assistance of a population totally devoted to a life philosophy of eating, drinking, drugging, copulating, evacuating the bowels and snoring.
