"Nevertheless the military voices on the show had their winning moments, sounding like old-fashioned relativists, whose basic mission in life was to counter ethnocentrism and disarm those possessed by a strident sense of group superiority. Ms. McFate stressed her success at getting American soldiers to stop making moral judgments about a local Afghan cultural practice in which older men go off with younger boys on 'love Thursdays' and do some 'hanky-panky.' 'Stop imposing your values on others,' was the message for the American soldiers. She was way beyond 'don't ask, don't tell,' and I found it heartwarming."
I read about the supposed preference for young boys before, but I just found it amusing the military had according to the article employed an anthropolgist to preach moral relativism to the troops. Good job U.S. military. :)
It also explains perhaps why Afghanistan doesn't have any stripclubs listed at TUSCL. ;) IOWs, who needs hot young women when young boys who probably don't get paid are available? ;)
Yeah, just think. When the Taliban was in charge in Afghanistan, they couldn't have sex with anyone unless they were married because they preached such militant fundamentalist religious extremism, but now they can go off and have sex with any little boy they want, and STILL preach fundamentalist militant religious extremism. We make their world free to be more hypocritical than it was before: preach fundamentalist militant religious extremism and yet still live a profligate irresponsible abusive lifestyle. Just spreading around the American way.
