I am just shocked at how Afghan men can sexually abuse young boys and not be punished for it. I don’t understand how people can just be ok with this. It is just wrong that the Afghan culture allows this and the law enforcement does nothing about it. I think that these men should be punished for what they are doing.

It is terrible how our soldiers get punished for speaking out and doing something about it, but those who commit the action get no punishment. What I couldn’t believe was that this man raped a 14 year old girl and got sentenced to only one day in jail, and then she was forced to marry him. The men that sexually abuse these kids act as if they are doing nothing wrong. They think that it is perfectly fine for them to do whatever they please to these children.

It’s disturbing how our military is told to look the other way and act like this isn’t happening. They are told to just stay out of it and ignore it. Those that don’t ignore it can be discharged and sometimes killed. If an Afghan ally is sexually abusing a child on base our military is told not to do anything about it. I am absolutely shocked.
