The American soldier is being asked to turn a blind eye to blatant pedophilia, child rape, cruelty to women and animals. If the American soldier does not turn a blind eye he/she may be killed by an Afghan friendly for insulting their repugnant culture.
Personally, I am so morally disgusted and indignant that I fear that I cannot be objective, but alas, I must try. Honestly, I will try!:bawl:
The Army is trying to do some village building in the Kandahar region of Afghanistan where pedophilia is rampant in the Pashtun tribes. The American media along with the Army Times reporting on this is almost non existent, and I am assuming it is to keep our soldiers safe while they are doing their duty. But I must wonder, how does the cultural differences effect the psyche of the American soldier? Think about it, you are training an Afghan to be in the Afghan Security Forces and he has brought along his prepubescent boy toy.
What would be ideal is to airlift the women and children out of this shit hole and leave those filthy fecking nasty men in their own sewage!
When does your moral duty outweigh your patriotic duty?
