This is only one of the reasons I think their sacred Afghan culture should be destroyed.

So the U.S. and Western NGOs subvert local cultures across the globe with feminism, gay rights etc, but take a pragmatist's and/or moral relativist's stance when it comes to this. Noted.

There are many politicians, reporters, corporate execs and lobbyists that should be rotting in jail for treason.

U.S. Soldiers Told to Ignore Afghan Allies


Who ever gave the "do not interfere" order to our military here needs to be court martialed and, locked up. Too; that Afghan "culture" needs to be changed, by killing the perps on sight if that's what it takes. Period.


A-M-E-N!

All the more reason to bring our troops home. No one in Afghanistan is worth the life of one American serviceman. They want Islam and everything it brings, let them have it.

Ummm...no. Not only should we do nothing, but we shouldn't be there at all.
