We should never have set foot in Afghanistan.
No one has ever tamed it.
No one ever will.
30 days of daily B-52 raids was all it was worth.

Yet another disgrace that should have ended on 1/20/2017 but didn’t.

I thought being a homo was a major sin in the Muslim religion.

This has been covered many times on FR over the years.

“Slavery is a part of Islam,” says a leading Saudi government cleric. “Slavery is part of jihad, and jihad will remain as long there is Islam.” And he is the author of textbooks that are used to teach Muslim students in Saudi Arabia and the United States.

Not our problem.....boy sex slaves in Afghanistan is the 'Cultural Norm'....in some cases invited and honored....they are groomed for this with their families approval..they are commonly called ‘bacha bereesh'....

Dr Soraya Sobhrang, who campaigned against the crime, said: “A war lord has many - they keep maybe 10 boys altogether.". “When the boys are beautiful it shows that their Masters are powerful, but also the number of boys they have.... "You have to spend a lot of money to pay the boys, feed the boys, keep them clothed. It shows your wealth in the community.”

What they witnessed will turn you stomach

During the first Gulf War there were LHA’s offshore Basra. They had major medical facilities, several doctors and a bunch of Corpsman.

The Marines rescued a couple of hundred boys from the Iraqi troops and brought them to the two LHAs offshore.

Syphilis, Gonorrhea and torn rectums in at least 75%. They were kept as sex slaves until they were old enough to enlist...just like their tormentors. And those before them.

It’s the pathway to the Arab/Muslim army.

If a country can’t declare war,it should not go to war. I am far from a Paulbot BTW.As for all US military follies from Korea to WOT, it has come to a tremendous waste of blood and treasure with America coming out with pretty much nothing to show for it. Close to 10,000 soldiers dead in Afghanistan and Iraq,countless permanently damaged,military exhausted and trillions down the toilet for what? The offspring of soldiers who faught in 2001 will soon join the fight. If a conflict goes on this long, there is something seriously wrong. Hubris and pride seem to be an issue among others such as Chicken Hawk mania.

Not to mention most of the worlds poppy supply for heroin is grown in Afghanistan, protected by the US military.

Sorry. Spray vegetation killer on the fields and leave.

Bitch bitch bitch

Why worry about boys in Afghanistan when youth by the hundreds are being shot and killed in Chicago?

I thought Black lives mattered

[Parmy]

Read about that years ago.
