They did not have to see the crime in commission because there was admission. I am disputing what should happen by the book, but in an environment where this kind of thing is not persecuted, the perp shows no remorse which would be interpreted as no problem with continuing that activity what recourse is left of the US soldiers.
No, it should not be allowable for an individual US soldier to do whatever he wants according to his own personal moral code to local nationals.

I do not know about temporary bases or classification of bases but I been stationed overseas I was always told that the bases were US territory.
Look how anti Muslims wink at child buggery. Sick...
Instead of deflecting, why don't you answer MJJersey's statement?
Do you, or do you not, accept what they do to their women? Simple question. NO deflections, no "but, but what about..." just answer that simple question.
My gut reaction when reading this story was putting soldiers in this situation explains some of the PTSD we are seeing our servicemen returning with. It is unconscionable to expect a normal or even semi-normal human to ignore this atrocity.
Why are we sacrificing the lives of young Americans for the sake of these animals and their sick culture? Way past time to get the hell out and leave them to their filth.
Certainly disgusting, but what is your broader message here? This is unfortunately common in many countries on many continents.
Prioritizing the maintenance of alliances over morality has always existed in some form in US foreign policy. We wouldn't have tolerated the actions of Ngo Dinh Diem as long as we did, if this were not the case.
You cannot be serious.
Three marines have already been killed by a 17-year old victim of these pervs because our military is seen as aligning themselves with these savages who are perpetrating the abuse.
Not surprisingly, today's military is instructed to view this as a cultural issue, thus endangering our troops. Un-believable.
My old man was a Marine in WWII and witnessed real evil and put his young life on the line to stomp it out.
Only to have to listen to liberal bilgewater come out of the mouths of his oldest sons in the 60's when they came home from college. I was a little kid but I remember the pain on his face listening to them.
The day one of them said they took part in a flag burning the old man just slammed his hand down on the table and walked outside, never said a word. But I think they knew how close they came to seeing his dark side.
People are idiots that have had everything handed to them. They get goofier and goofier as they get older I guess. People who witnessed real evil and fought for our freedom understand..but then they die out and the next generation has to learn it the hard way all over again. So said.
You made it sound as though the Americans caught the crime in the act, when in fact they took vigilante justice into their own hands some time afterward. The actual story is certainly not as you represented it.
What they actually did would not fly even in the US for the same crime. If two soldiers at, say, Ft Pope, found about a rape, sought the rapist out, and beat him up themselves, they'd still face harsh disciplinary actions. The officer would be dismissed and the senior NCO would be told to retire...at the very least. It's very likely the NCO would get busted to a very low rank before being allowed to retire (with his retirement pay based on that last low rank).
Oh, please.
Why don't we just bring these self-admitted Afghan child rapists here, hire expensive lawyers for them, and then spend millions of dollars on their trials and appeals all the way up to the Supreme Court?
We can release them on bond and put them up in fancy hotels and, of course, only serve them Halal food.
Would that satisfy you?
Or maybe -- in case they lose in U.S. courts -- we could then send them to the International Criminal Court in Europe, and after that hold a hearing at the UN Human Rights Commission which includes notorious human rights violators.
Shall we fly them here first class and allow them to bring their extended families, who will then be admitted as refugees and put on a fast track to citizenship?
Shall we hire translators for each family member?
Which hotel in New York should they live in? The Waldorf? The Carlyle? The Plaza?
I say do the Full Metal Jacket scene on these so called superiors where they beat their Sad Sack Gomer Pyle fellow recruit with a towel with soap on a rope rolled up in it then stick it up their 4 star *****e$ and see if they like it!
