Recent news from Afghanistan about our military officers being forced by their superiors to aid and abet child sexual abuse of young boys and girls by Afghan Local Police force officers is highly disturbing. Reports of abuses of power WORSE than what the Taliban were perpetrating leaves many citizens wondering why we would give such people positions of authority and arm and train them in the use of high-powered weapons. These pedophiles are snowing our military 'intelligence' into thinking it's just a part of Afghani 'culture' and that it must be accepted, when it is clearly not true, and laughing at us in the process.
Please see NYTimes article 'U.S. Soldiers Told to Ignore Afghan Allies Abuse of Boys'.
End the abuse, or end the arming and training.
