I just realized that by calling Afghanistan a "s***hole" I offended every stinking outhouse and latrine. It's a lot worse.
From the New York Times:
KABUL, Afghanistan — In his last phone call home, Lance Cpl. Gregory Buckley Jr. told his father what was troubling him: From his bunk in southern Afghanistan, he could hear Afghan police officers sexually abusing boys they had brought to the base.
“At night we can hear them screaming, but we’re not allowed to do anything about it,” the Marine’s father, Gregory Buckley Sr., recalled his son telling him before he was shot to death at the base in 2012. He urged his son to tell his superiors. “My son said that his officers told him to look the other way because it’s their culture.”
Another heart-warming story. Dan Quinn was relieved of his Special Forces command after a fight with a U.S.-backed militia leader who had a boy as a sex slave chained to his bed
No wonder these poor guys come home with PTSD. If that experience will not give you one, nothing ever will. Realizing that our government facilitates, aids and abets rapes of kids in the safety of the US-controlled facility must be an eye opener. That marine, instead being free to shoot the son of a bitch on the spot, couldn't arrest him, couldn't say stop, couldn't do s*** except listen. You still want to go to Afghanistan to "serve your country"?
I apologize if I ruined your breakfast.
