U.S. Soldiers Told to Ignore Sexual Abuse of Boys by Afghan Allies
NY Times ^ | 9/20/15 | Joseph Goldstein

In his last phone call home, Lance Cpl. Gregory Buckley Jr. told his father what was troubling him: From his bunk in southern Afghanistan, he could hear Afghan police officers sexually abusing boys they had brought to the base.

“At night we can hear them screaming, but we’re not allowed to do anything about it,” the Marine’s father, Gregory Buckley Sr., recalled his son telling him before he was shot to death at the base in 2012. He urged his son to tell his superiors. “My son said that his officers told him to look the other way because it’s their culture.”

I read the article.
Some sick $#!T but even worse is that our military looks the other way, even on our own bases.

Since when do we allow that?

Surprised that a beating is all some of these guys got and not a bullet.

How much PTSD did this cause? Where is Sir Charles Napier when you need him?

“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.”

or

“The best way to quiet a country is a good thrashing, followed by great kindness afterwards. Even the wildest chaps are thus tamed.”

- Sir Charles Napier

Instead Dan Quinn was relieved of his Special Forces command after a fight with a U.S.-backed militia leader who had a boy as a sex slave chained to his bed.

With the divider in chief in charge right now I would have thought he would ordered our military to round up more little boys for these homosexuals and ten call a queer pride day

So will the BSA now look the other way when the gay scoutmasters practice their custom?

Back in 2009, I did some school projects with a young man who had served in both Afghanistan and Gitmo.

He told me about Thursday nights being the big night for men to have sex with other men and with boys. But they weren’t gay, or so they said. This young man hated it, but all the Americans were told to ignore such behavior.

The same event came to mind for me. The full story is thus:

General Sir Charles James Napier, GCB (10 August 1782 – 29 August 1853), was a general of the British Empire and the British Army’s Commander-in-Chief in India.

A story for which Napier is often noted involved Hindu priests complaining to him about the prohibition of Sati by British authorities. This was the custom of burning a widow alive on the funeral pyre of her husband. As first recounted by his brother William, he replied:

“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.”

Agreed. In this case “custom” is also “war crime”.

We need Nuremburg trials for these NWO war criminals.

They’re not humans. They are moslems. Just doing what moslems are commanded to do.

I am ashamed of America. What have we become? I read somewhere several years back that the Taliban had stopped that from happening and that since they were taken out of power the practice has returned.

USA has a policy of ignoring the raping of little boys? An investigation is in order to determine just who originated this policy and which general officers carried it out. All should be forced to resign in disgrace. The practice will stop or all of Afghanistan will lay in ruins.

Bring back mobile 8 inch artillery guns.
