Re: Here Come the Afghan Refugees
Votes.
I wasn't trying to preach to you, more agreeing. As a practical manner it's something people need to look out for. I really don't want it to be political it's more of a public service announcement. You're not likely to see the behavior I'm talking about from any other group of migrants and that's why I'm not ranting about them. It's a particular problem with this group.

Re: Here Come the Afghan Refugees
You might be surprised at how many of these refugees are Americans/westernized. The fundamentalists aren’t really the ones who need to fear the Taliban. The company I work for donates food and I have met many of these people while handing out meals at the airport. I have yet to see anyone get raped but I’ll keep my eye out.

Re: Here Come the Afghan Refugees
Get ready for the word "anecdotal" to be thrown around. I've really grown to hate that word. Sure, it has it's place, but it seems it's used more to brush aside what someone doesn't want to hear and minimize what's being talked about. Gotta keep that pre-conceived narrative flowing, ya know.

Re: Here Come the Afghan Refugees
A few weeks ago we couldn’t get them out fast enough, and everyone seemed to be very empathetic towards the situation. There was a pretty long thread here about it. I couldn’t believe some of the bleeding hearts going on and on about our allies and the poor women and children of Afghanistan. Now, for whatever reason, people seem to be changing their tune.
I read the article you linked and it seems these people are staying at the army base while they are being vetted, like all the other refugees. I would imagine this was an ongoing thing but of course the women can’t report it in Afghanistan. So now these guys get shipped straight back to the Taliban. Sounds like the system did its job.
US Military bases have had markedly higher incidences of sex assault long before any Afghan refugees got here, and it was largely swept under the rug. I am glad to see that they are taking these crimes more seriously. As long as your wife/daughter stays out of the military they should be fine.

Re: Here Come the Afghan Refugees
I worked with a young Afghan guy and he and another young Pakistani guy (skinny as a rail but he and his wife wore their Ravens bling to work!) were the two best QA guys on our team and they were the closest things I had to best friends at my job. Both westernized, both great guys that I am fortunate to have as friends.
I am not worried about the educated westernized Afghans and if that is mostly what we got great.
I don't know the nature of the refugees that ended up in Europe. Probably people that footed it through Turkey. The woman that was reporting the Afghan rape phenomenon is married to an Afghan diplomat I believe and even she was shocked by it. It's something to be aware of.

Re: Here Come the Afghan Refugees
That story is the type of thing I'm talking about. It's a scenario that almost denies belief. I think a female soldier at one of these ad hoc refugee camps on a military base got attacked too which is like Wtf!?! How stupid/messed up can you be. Some of the rapes in Europe were broad daylight attempts to attack women in public swimming pools, and in parks and i think one involved a mother pushing a stroller. Just crazy, crazy stuff like that.

Re: Here Come the Afghan Refugees
Well like when a man becomes the stepfather to another mans family, we became the stepfather to another country citizens when we took over Afghanistan.
