I guess we are to understand that's Obama's fault too.   :roll:

Too much irrational conservative thinking going on around here...[/quote]

Noone said anything like that. We are saying that turning a blind eye to it on our military bases and [u]punishing[/u] soldiers who say otherwise is tacit condoning of child rape which is fundamentally against basic human rights and american values. Be it conservative or liberal. And yes, this is happening under obama's administration.[/quote]

It has not been demonstrated let alone proven that anyone is condoning this, nor that it's the reason anyone is being punished.  It's also not been demonstrated that any specific policy or doctrine change happened under Obama.  The only thing anyone has shown was a draft manual that someone in Fort Leavenworth produced, which doesn't appear to have ever been adopted.

Interesting that only suddenly now do we care about it, when it's been going on for hundreds of years.  That's what makes this nothing but bullshit conservative partisanship.[/quote]

No the reason why we care about it is the NYtimes wrote an expose on it and then followed up with an Op ed.

Its like nail salons have been abusing their workers for years, why do we care now?

Your own partisanship has clouded your humanity. Shame on you.[/quote]

Again, you have not addressed the two fundamental problems with your story.

1.) The NY Times never got beyond the "draft" manual, which appears to have never been issued or adopted.

2.) The NY Times never got beyond the fact that the Commanding General in Afghanistan never gave any order or promoted any doctrine for those in his command, to "condone" or "turn a blind eye" to child rape.

Nobody has.

That is a HUGE PROBLEM with your narrative.[/quote]

I suggest you actually read the new york times article. [/quote]
