| #7 Those in the military who have spoken out have not fared too well. Green beret who spoke out against boy buggery. In Nazi Germany prior to WWII. Officers who opposed Hitler were killed; other officers seemed to accept the killing of fellow officers--they remained silent. See the book "Defying Hitler" by Sebastian Haffner for an account. |

| #6 Let the Afghans know that we will not tolerate that nonsense and if they don't like it we can leave. They can ask Iraq how well that went when the US pulled out of there. If I were a guest in a house and the owners were torturing/raping children upstairs I could hardly be expected to stay. And in fact if I had a gun they might expect to be shot before I left, hosts or not. |

| #5 AlanC, the difference is that when Gen. Napier was in charge, the British were ruling India. In Afghanistan, the US is merely a guest. We must bow to their culture. |

| #2 Maybe those in the command chain above who agree with this need to be chained to a bed and buggered nightly to see how they like it. |

| #1 Our military and government are starting to sound a lot like the corrupt Roman ones... right before they collapsed against the barbarians. |
