Bacha bazi, also known as “boy play”. Say you are an
American soldier and you are inside your military base, and lying in your bunk,
when outside you hear an Afghan officer assaulting a young boy that he brought
into camp. What do you do? Do you sit by and just listen to the young boy
screaming for his life. Or do you step up and go outside and stop what is
happening outside. American soldiers have been told to not do anything about
this. Why you ask, because in the country of Afghanistan, in their culture, it
is socially acceptable to do this. How do you fell about how our soldiers are
there to put a stop to things like this, but they are told that they can’t
cause any conflict.
I don’t know if what you would do, but I would most likely
try to put a stop to the end of this atrocity. In America, child abuse, and the
raping of children will put you in jail for more than likely ten plus years.
Like of course that when people in America read this article about it, they
freak out. But the government tries to keep these things quiet. But like I said
above, this is acceptable in Afghan countries. I just do not approve of this; I
think that this is very wrong, on many levels. Like, it’s just morally wrong to
molest young children, and also, it’s in the bible that a man should not have
any intimate relations with someone of the same sex. I don’t know, I just feel that
it’s incorrect to have these soldiers just sit back and listen. If they feel
that what is happening is wrong, I believe that they have the right to step in
for their morals, since that is what we are doing is trying to make them a
better country and to be rid of all that activity.
