Bacha Bazi
September 21, 2015
U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan were told to ignore bacha bazi, “boy play”; that is, pederasty, committed by Afghan commanders. Yet another reason to stay out of the military: you may have to lie awake at night and listen to the sounds of boys screaming as they are sexually abused by your “allies.”
Thanks to G.P. and several others.
Update: Jacob Hornberger reminds us that the U.S. government always turns a blind eye to evil when it is in the national interest.
