U.S. Soldiers Told to Ignore Sexual Abuse of Boys by Afghan Allies [Obama Admin's Orders]
New York Times ^ | 9/20/2015 | 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.”

Rampant sexual abuse of children has long been a problem in Afghanistan, particularly among armed commanders who dominate much of the rural landscape and can bully the population. The practice is called bacha bazi, literally “boy play,” and American soldiers and Marines have been instructed not to intervene — in some cases, not even when their Afghan allies have abused boys on military bases, according to interviews and court records.

....soldiers and Marines have been increasingly troubled that instead of weeding out pedophiles, the American military was arming them in some cases and placing them as the commanders of villages — and doing little when they began abusing children....

bammy operated under the principle that muzzies were supreme, and no one must ever annoy them. Let them get away with whatever they wanted to do.

Obama's DoD ordered our military to IGNORE CHILD RAPE.

You can damn well bet that if this had been a Republican administration, the NY Times would not have run just ONE STORY on the subject. This would have been like Abu Ghraib--the story told over and over and over and over again.

When a liberal BIRD CAGE LINER like the NY Slimes reports like this on a Democrat administration, you KNOW the truth is likely much, much worse.

Funny, I don't recall any Democrat operatives demanding the SecDef or the Pentagon chiefs RESIGN over their tolerance of BOY RAPE.

It’s accepted practice if you are a muslim.
This is what happens when you have someone islamizing America and making it sharia compliant.

Why would you torment your animal with that rag? It's only good for wrapping spoiled food in.

3rd country national duty is one of the most repugnant duties assigned to some of our troops. You’re basically keeping them off each other and more often than not, are witness to child abuse. Grossest culture on earth.

Several emails between Cheryl Mills, Hillary and Podesta discussed this and some British security contractors participating.

There were photos.

If a parrot, he may repeat the content after he reads it.

Dang!

On the other hand, if he is called as a witness in a trial, you might get off as being a liberal.

and the sad liberals in the comments section of nyt try to justify it mentioning catholics, saying the koran doesn’t approve(bs) and many other things. Some say the practice predates islam. Unreal how liberals will twist things to fit their political agenda

They have been doing boy play for centuries in this backward culture. It was no secret to the Times before we got there, while we are there and after we leave.It offends the sensibilities of anyone Western. But are we there to reform their culture or protect our national security interest or both? If both then we can dispatch the editors from the Times to go over there and explain how much boy play offends them while we have the military tend to our national security.

In Islam it's not considered sex if it's done to children. When they grow up to become gay men they get tossed off buildings. Can you get any sicker than this cult? The Constitution of Afghanistan is explicitly Islamic. That is what our blood and treasure is defending. Am I the only one who has trouble with this?
