[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]I'm able to access the WSJ journal article. Policy changes were made under Obama.

American soldiers should brace for a "social-cultural shock" when meeting Afghan soldiers and avoid potentially fatal confrontations by steering clear of subjects including women's rights, religion and Taliban misdeeds, according to a controversial draft of a military handbook being prepared for troops heading to the region.

That is the best source that I've ever seen regarding this topic. But, as the other poster pointed out, is there any evidence that this was ever anything more than a draft? Given the opposition it generated, I'd be surprised if it made it past draft status.

There at least two facing discharge and/or charges. Obama has done what? [/quote]

Not necessarily proof of anything.  They only discharge and/or charges that can come have to come as due process in accordance with the UCMJ and if the soldier in question assaulted the Afghan policeman that is likely why he would be charged.  I suspect he did a bit more than merely "push" the Afghan.  There is nothing in the UCMJ that supports the story of "being punished for calling out a pedophile."

The manual appears to have never made it beyond draft and the commanding general in Afghanistan has said he never supported or ordered any such doctrine or policy.[/quote]
