American soldiers were instructed not to intervene—in some cases, not even when their Afghan allies have abused boys on military bases, according to interviews and court records. But the U.S. soldiers were troubled that instead of weeding out [[pedophile]]s, the U.S. military was arming them against the Taliban and placing them as the police commanders of villages—and doing little when they began abusing children.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/22/opinion/ignoring-sexual-abuse-in-afghanistan.html|title=Ignoring Sexual Abuse in Afghanistan|author=The Editorial Board|date=2015-09-21|work=The New York Times|access-date=|language=en-US|issn=0362-4331}}</ref> − According to a report by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, the [[DOD]] had received 5,753 vetting requests of Afghan security forces, some of which related to sexual abuse.
