Are Afghan soldiers still stealing from children?

Comment on: For U.S., Vast Challenge To Expand Afghan Forces at 12/23/2009 12:10 PM EST

"One soldier searching villagers pocketed an orange he found on a young boy, then hit the youth with a stick."


So, our tax dollars help to pay the salary of a petty thief who uses his Afghan Army uniform as cover as he shakes down children for their fruit (and presumably other valuables).

How can anyone think that this is a proper way to behave?

Where is the news story about what this soldier's commander and those higher up are doing with this kind of information? Soldiers are supposed to give oranges to children, not steal them away.

Is this soldier still doing shakedowns?
