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?

Uh if you read the last source posted by the pp it specifically says due to obamas new rules of engagement the guy who beat up the afghan commander raping the child was sanctioned and punished by the military and that it has sapped the morale of the green berets[/quote]
