Bacha Bazi.....#NotMmk


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.
