Because the men on the ground knew they had the power to stop it without fear of prosecution. And many did. [b]Obama put in new rules of engagement[/b] and apparently punishes for 'cultural insensitivity'. [/quote]

Can you point to a source supporting this allegation? I know, useless to ask. I'll be told to do my own research.

There are many - I'll provide one that shows how the rules of engagement have changed and put our soldiers in danger and restricted their ability to fight:

Regarding the sex issue, you can see the dodge here:

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/white-house-dodges-on-child-rape-in-afghanistan/article/2572538

[i]"We continue to urge the Afghan and civil society to protect and support victims and their families, while also strongly encouraging justice and accountability under Afghan law for offenders," Earnest said.[/i]

The difference is, when it's happening on OUR bases using OUR taxpayer dollars to pay the rapists, we should be acting.[/quote]

As usual, your "sources" do not support your claim. Can you quote the specific text from either article that says that Obama changed the ROE in such a way as to make punishment for reporting child sex abuse more likely?

Isn't the best proof the [b]prosecution of the green beret[/b]? Thats under Obama and he's the commander in chief...[/quote]

He was prosecuted by being given one bad mark on his record, which then eventually led to him being discharged years later in the drawdown.  Calling a bad mark on your record "prosecution" is pretty imprecise.

Yes argue semantics. The fact that this is happening is disgusting.[/quote]
