Two British soldiers fighting in Afghanistan were arrested on charges of sexually abusing two Afghan children as young as ten years old and filming the abuse.
The films, which were showed off to comrades, reportedly depict the two soldiers as they encouraged a young Afghan boy and girl to touch them through their clothing. The British army would not release information on the names of the soldiers or their unit, but the Ministry of Defense said it took such claims “seriously” and the Royal Military Police said they were investigating.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s office said: “The government of Afghanistan is immensely disgusted by the rise in recent incidents of immoral nature among foreign soldiers that clearly undermine public confidence and the Afghan people’s cooperation with foreign troops.”
The arrests have been made less than a week after an internet video surfaced of U.S. Marines urinating on dead Afghan bodies, an incident which the U.S. authorities also claimed it to be investigating. Local Afghans were quoted as saying “such things happen all the time, and people talk about it but media hardly report them.”
The public outrage in the West is of course negligible compared to what it would be if Taliban fighters were recorded pissing on the corpses of U.S. Marines or sexually assaulting American or British children. Nevertheless, the current counter-insurgency strategy in Afghanistan is supposedly about “winning hearts and minds.”
And here I thought the sick phuques were all American…
What we need now is for an alien race to descend from the stars and after examining what we've become as a society, pull the plug and wipe the planet clean.
To Hamid Karzi.., what the hell did you think.., did you thought that these people are angels and sent by your god from haven to save your ass. No you stupid they are their to rape your country.
We have to examine the conscience of our maker as far as moral or immoral is concerned.
Who is right to define what is right or wrong without regard to this ?
Also as far as children are concerned to examine their innate design.
Wellington called his troops "scum, every one" nothing has changed
These bozos were turned-in by their own squadmates.
That doesn't happen in the US Army where 'whistle-blowers' get 'the treatment' and are strongly encouraged to STFU. Look at the example of the kid who told his folks about the Afghan 'kill team', they kicked the crap out of him for ratting them out about dope and made sure he tad a 'part' in a kill. He's doing 15 years for his trouble.
Unit cohesion in the US forces involves two principles A) it's no big whoop and b) you go along to get along. All for one man, and one for all. See no, hear no, say no evil, about yer buds. And that's one more reason they're losing wherever they 'fight'.
The limeys give us an idea of what real soldiers should be. Weekend warriors they ain't.
If these are the stories that are made public, imagine the stuff that goes on that never gets reported. Or talk to anyone who's done a tour there. It's hellish. Colonialism at its worst.
I am thoroughly disgusted. These idiots don't that everything that they do is a reflection on their nation as well as their religion, Christianity, as well. And people still wonder why "they hate us". I will laugh the next time Western media propaganda decries the stoning of women of the "fundamentalist muslims". The savagery of the Anglo-American military and corporate interests knows no bounds.
Well karzai there the democracy you were looking for: European pedophillia!!!!!!!
