Slain Marine’s Father Reveals Horrifying Claim His Son Told Him Before He Was Killed: ‘At Night We Can Hear Them Screaming’

Before he was fatally shot in 2012, Lance Cpl. Gregory Buckley Jr. told his father that at night he could hear Afghan officers sexually abusing young boys, but there was nothing he could do about it.
“At night we can hear them screaming, but we’re not allowed to do anything about it,” Gregory Buckley Sr., the Marine’s father, told the New York Times his son told him. “My son said that his officers told him to look the other way because it’s their culture.”

While some U.S. soldiers and Marines have specifically been told not to intervene, they have chosen to do so anyway in the face of potential disciplinary action.
As TheBlaze previously reported, Sgt. First Class Charles Martland, a Green Beret, is set to be involuntarily discharged Nov. 1 because he attacked an Afghan Local Police commander in 2011 who allegedly raped a boy and then beat his mother for telling the U.S. military.
Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) defended Martland in an August letter to Defense Secretary Ash Carter and said that Martland had a “moral decision” to intervene.
“He confessed to the crime and laughed about it, and said it wasn’t a big deal,” Daniel Quinn, a leader at the post, told Fox News of the Afghan police commander’s actions. “Even when we patiently explained how serious the charge was, he kept laughing. As a man, as a father of a young boy myself at the time, I felt obliged to step in to prevent further repeat occurrences.”
Quinn and Martland were both removed from the outpost, and Quinn decided to leave military service. However, Martland was brought to a “Qualitative Management Program” review board in February 2015 where it was decided that he would be involuntarily discharged.
Hunter said in his letter that Martland is being targeted by a new policy within the military amid budget cuts that scales back on personnel who have infractions on their records despite potentially having good performance records.

(Image source: KUSA-TV) “Performance in the battlefield and performance in training should be valued over … infractions,” Dan Caldwell, a former Marine and the legislative and political director for the nonprofit Concerned Veterans for America, previously told TheBlaze.
Caldwell said adult male-minor male rape is “very common” in “that culture” and reiterated what Buckley reportedly told his father before his death: the common excuse for looking the other way regarding sexual abuse is that it’s their culture.
“You would have probably a lot of people who would say, ‘look, we’re not here to change their culture,’” Caldwell said. “I’m sure they would say the appropriate response is that it is just a part of Afghan culture, and you just need to ignore it and accept it.”
Col. Brian Tribus, a spokesman for the American command in Afghanistan, told the New York Times that “there would be no express requirement that U.S. military personnel in Afghanistan report” instances of child rape unless rape is being used as a weapon of war.
“Generally, allegations of child sexual abuse by Afghan military or police personnel would be a matter of domestic Afghan criminal law,” Tribus said in an email.
A former Marine lance corporal told the New York Times that he remembered feeling sick upon walking into a room on a base and seeing men lying on the ground with children.
“I’m not a hundred percent sure what was happening under the sheet, but I have a pretty good idea of what was going on,” he said, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
Still, the lance corporal said, “the bigger picture was fighting the Taliban. It wasn’t to stop molestation.”

John Masters in 'Bugles and a Tiger' commenting on the Pushtuns on the NW Frontier of India in the final decades of the Raj Noted that 'An old Pathan proverb is 'a woman for business, a boy for pleasure and a goat for choice' and one of the most famous Pathan songs the "Zakhmi Dil" ("Wounded Heart")begins with the words "There's a boy across the river with a bottom like a peach but, alas, I cannot swim".
Time to abandon that country and then nuke it from 7,000 miles away.
A splendid idea for all the Arab and Arabized SW Asia area.
“... it’s their culture ...” and it’s coming to the USA compliments of the Democrats.
Active Duty ping.
obumber has fundamentally changed this country.
its their culture
Its also their culture to side with Iran and kill infidels
their stinking culture is the stinking unholy koran.
At the time it was, and still is, my contention that we should have pulled out 3 months after we knocked out the Taliban.
This was retribution for 9/11, NOT this BS business of “nation building”. Which is an impossibility.
Unfortunately, given your tag line, it is arguable that it isn’t the only place in need of purification by fire. Pot, meet kettle.
I'm sure the Pushtuns will take weapons and cash from anyone. Right now the Iranians of Fanatistan are offering lots of both. The Pushtuns will be happy to take their guns and dollars or what ever and use them to create a Sunni fanatistan of their own in south Afghanistan and then they will start raiding across the border into the country of their erstwhile allies as they also link up with their buds in the Pak tribal zone to create a Sunni ‘Pushtunistan’. Its like a merry-go-round.

Yep. Iraq stood under Saddam because the soldiers were more afraid of the punishment they would get from running away than they were of the enemy.
THERE we HAVE it!!
whizz be upon him
True.
AMEN Brother!
Nuke it and pray for the innocent souls.
This probably had been going on since the early GWB in Afghanistan days, nothing new today. But now we’re hearing about it.
Why are Americans soldiers fighting and dying in this sewer?
We should have bombed the place and LEFT and not allowed any muslims (sodomites) to come to America.
But Bush is part of the Skull and Bones (Kissinger/Soros puppets) who actually secretly worship the goat-god, Ba’al, where sodomy is the Rite of Passage for all the “secret” societies. Sodomy mocks God/Christ and equates Life to Excrement....it is the ultimate Luciferean act.
Libido Dominandi——there are tapes/photos of all the most powerful people-—which will destroy them if released (or if they have no such blackmail material on them, they make it up and if that doesn’t work—they will just kill them.)
All the elites (Hollywood/Kissinger/Soros) are sodomites and they prefer the children in their satanic orgies-—exactly like John Maynard Keynes and Epstein, Clinton, and the Hollywood rapers of the Coreys did.
They actually are Lucifereans, and sodomizing the children, particularly boys, is what they lust after—exactly as Zeus did Ganymedes.
“Homosexual” was a term coined by sodomites in Germany in the 1800s so that they could make the “Love’ that dare not speak its name, “normal” again. They wanted the boys. In fact, the German homosexuals founded the boy scouts, so they could have control over young boys over night.
They wanted to return the pagan cultures, where it is normal to groom and train little boys for their “lifestyle”. Macho males have to use ‘boys” since it is emasculating to let themselves be used as females (Spartan worldview).
We now have been training our boys with “Pride” in anal sex days and with emasculated pop stars and by putting “homosexuals” as movie stars in “Glee”, etc.
ALL behaviors are learned and taught by the culture. We have had the SCOTUS just install an evil vile pagan “culture”-—Rule of Man-—and throw out our Constitution for the muslim/pagan one. Our so-called “just” laws promote vile, evil behaviors like theft, sodomy and polygamy and baby killing.....we are just like Ancient Greece now.
All the ideology which created the Age of Reason and Individual Natural Rights from God is being eliminated and we are REGRESSING back to old paganism/satanism where all the little boys are in harems or barracks to be used by the adult males in their orgies.
Culture determines worldview and all behaviors are learned and habituated..
