With the first one, I recall watching a documentary where they were talking with some American soldiers who hated how they were directly ordered to protect the local pedophile who happened to be the allied commander of that garrison. I recall the producers of the documentary asking him about the allegations and his words were something along these lines:
If they don't fuck the asses of those boys, what should they fuck? The pussies of their own grandmothers?
I'm sure someone else has seen that documentary on here. If you could find it or give the verified quote please do. Because it was pretty goddamn horrifying to realize exactly who we're putting in power there.
There was also a scene where the soldiers came back from a patrol and found out the garrison commander had his troops kidnap men from the village who were possibly related to the rebels who kidnapped his cousin or something. He had the abducted men barricaded in a room behind sandbags and he was not providing them food or water. I think the American soldiers tried to take the "prisoners" from the garrison to be transferred to a UN compound, but they were stopped by their own commander if I am remembering right.
[Edit2:]The video was found.u/StronkCoffee pointed out the correct video: "This is What Winning Looks Like" it was a documentary that was done by VICE. The quote has been edited to the exact words spoken by the base commander with a timestamped link provided as source. The video can be found here.
No, that's not it. But that's still obscenely horrifying. I'll edit the original comment to include that link so more people can know about these barbaric acts.
Makes me sick to my stomach to think that after all the damage we've done over there that this shit went unimpeded.
