Fort Bragg's Child Sex Crime Epidemic & the U.S. Military Cover-Up (youtu.be)

The U.S. military enabled child sex slavery in Afghanistan. Now those predators are back at Fort Bragg. 💀 DONATE now to keep MintPress Alive: mintpressnews.com/donations

The empire's crimes don't stay overseas. For two decades, the U.S. military ignored—and often facilitated—bacha bazi: the systematic sexual enslavement of children in Afghanistan. Now, MintPress News uncovers how those predators returned home.

Since 2021, dozens of elite soldiers at Fort Bragg have been convicted of raping children, trafficking minors, and distributing child pornography. Whistleblowers reveal a culture of command complicity: officers who laugh off abuse, bury investigations, and protect predators to "save the unit's reputation."

This is imperial blowback. This is what happens when a military machine dehumanizes abroad—and brings that depravity home.
