Yes this is true...the two years I spent in Kandahar and the 5 southern provinces made that abundantly clear.
Most ME cultures have a huge homosexual underground because of the dif of young men to be around women.
So, they do each other instead....and many acquire a 'taste' for young boys.
Most of the Pashtun jokes are about this subject.
"Why does a bird fly over Kandahar with one wing"?
"So he can protect his backside with the other". (Pashtun humor)
In the 205th Afghan Corps we had a Bn Cmder rape a young troop at gunpoint...the Bn Cmder did not lose 'Face' over this as it could not be proven....
This is a ME issue, SA, Jordan,...name a country there samo samo

These are the same "trained monkeys" that released a report explaining that corruption in Trashcanistan is a cultural problem that isnt going to go away any time soon.
Good work guys!

Iraq was never lost and Afghanistan was never quite the easy good war. Those in the media too often pile on and follow the polls rather than offer independent analysis. Campaign rhetoric and politics are one thing - the responsibility of governance is quite another.

Hilarious. This topic could give rise to some fantatic new running cadences and back-of-the-deuce and a half songs.

I too heard the "women for babies, boys for fun" quip from LN's while in Iraq.
So, while perhaps not indicative of the whole culture, there's certainly a strong sub culture of homosexual/pedos in the macro culture.

Is it any wonder the Pashto have angry young men? Taliban are hypocrites. DADT is a little strange too.
On the one hand, an extreme interpretation of their religion severely limits the availability (and rights) of females. Sexual outlets are few and far between, ergo homo-sex - it's not what you are it's what you do because there are no other viable options.
OTOH, as a young boy you are vulnerable to institutionalized sexual domination.
This has been going on for at least 2300 years - since Alexander, a man-loving Macedonian, conquered most of the world known to the ancient Greeks.
So anyway, it's a cultural tradition that has been around thousands of years. I say give them internet and leave them alone (after taking out the really bad apples). They'll figure it out in a few hundred years.
