Finally. Finally. Finally being reported upon by Western media. The Afghan "allies" of the US bring their willing and unwilling child prostitutes onto the base and rape them within hearing of our soldiers, and our commanders tell them to do nothing, that this is just part of Afghani culture (which, in fact, it is).

And don't think that this behavior is solely Afghani.

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.

Who said that it did?

Just pointing out that this has been a geopolitic reality for centuries, if not millenia, before someone chooses to make this into something it isn't. It is just another example of self-preservation at the expense of others. Repulsive and horrifying, but it is a quality of humanity that will probably never go away.

And a $1.4 trillion lithium vein underground that the US does not talk about.


Easy to extract with the right technology and worth a lot of money.

Opium poppies? ROFLMFAO.... If you really must know, it's a slippery slope. For the most part, you're looking for justice under Sharia Law. First, a women's testimony counts as half of a man. Second, unless witnessed by four other males, the rape did not occur. ( I'm assuming the rape was male on female) Age here is of no importance. Third, we are in their country and can't enforce our judicial system or the rules of sanity we have here. And finally, this is the wave of the future thanks to the brain dead libs who what to bring these animals into this country because they will claim religious freedom to continue their barbaric ways. Oh, and by the way Miss Lib, It's already happening. Thanks for that.
