Ignore sexual abuse??

Back in 2012, Gregory Buckley Jr. told his dad that he could hear the screams of boys that the Afghan police officers were sexually abusing, but he could do nothing to stop it. When he told superiors, they told him to look the other way because of their culture. This practice is called bacha bazi - "boy play" - and US troops are not allowed to interfere. Since American forces need the help of Afghan militias to hold territory, this continues and Americans are not only doing nothing to stop it, but arming pedophiles and putting them in charge. The picture below shows Dan Quinn, a former US soldier who beat up an allied officer recently for chaining a boy to his bed. He ruined his career by doing this - pulled from command and forced to leave the military. This American policy is called nonintervention and is meant to keep goof relations with allies and keeps the US from messing with other cultures, however we often find ourselves questioning how we are helping anyone if this is the result. Is this making the situation any better for the villages we are supposed to be defending? I find this disturbing, and not only in the sense that it's a bad situation, but that I am affiliated with the country that thinks they are doing the right thing in this situation.
