Animal House Embassy in Kabul

[3113]

Not sure I know what to say about this except...Plot Bunny!

Private security guards at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul were pressured to participate in naked pool parties and perform sex acts to gain promotions or assignment to preferable shifts, according to one of 12 guards who have gone public with their complaints. In an interview with ABC News for broadcast tonight on the "World News with Charles Gibson," the guard, a U.S. military veteran, said top supervisors of the ArmorGroup were not only aware of the "deviant sexual acts" but helped to organize them.

"It was mostly the young guys fresh from the military who were told they had to participate," said the guard, who talked on a phone hook-up arranged by the Project on Government Oversight, which first revealed photographs of the parties. The State Department said it was investigating the allegations and the circumstances surrounding the photographs which show naked and barely clothed men fondling one another. The guard who spoke with ABC News said the drunken parties had been held regularly for at least a year and a half.

The State Department renewed its contract with ArmorGroup to provide security at the Kabul embassy last month even though there have been a series of complaints about its performance.

Story from here. And, seriously, this is totally reprehensible. A year-and-a-half this has been going on?

When you privatize government services you get more for your money, or so I've been told.

Afghanistan and the nights are cold at 6,000 feet.

Moscow Nights (lyrics by Frank Hayes)

Moscow nights are cold, but they're crisp and clear
Let's go South for winter this year
To Afghanistan, it's such a lovely land
And the people are Russian as can be.
In Afghanistan, right next to Pakistan,
With it's warm water port upon the Sea.

Exciting things are happening there every day,
And each night a fireworks display
In Afghanistan, it's such a lovely land
And it's warmer by far than Moscovy
In Afghanistan, or maybe old Iran
Where the oil fields are wonderful to see.

Well, "Gay Animal House Embassy in Kabul" was kind of a long title. But you are correct, I was imprecise.

I can see this whole thing, 3. The night wind across the desert, Full moon shining down. Sand in their eyes. Cock in their mouths. So romantic.

"Bend ovah, bend ovah, bend ovah!"

I can see this whole thing, 3. The night wind across the desert, Full moon shining down. Sand in their eyes. Cock in their mouths. So romantic.

ArmorGroup is like Eharmony. It just wants to help people find their soulmate.

Then again, maybe I wasn't. This is sort of an ancient Greek thing....
