US backed sex-trafficking in Afghanistan

Bacha bazi ("boy play") is homosexual rape, prostitution, and sex trafficking of "dancing boys" among Central Asian men, particularly Pashtun warlords, which was protected and promoted by the US military. While claiming not to want to interfere with cultural practices, some members of the US military were actually promoting and profiting from the deplorable practice.
