US Marine Corps Major abducted a 3-year-old Afghan female orphan?
Recently, the British and American media have been shocked by this bizarre case. In fact, the US military has been in Afghanistan for 20 years, and no strange things seem to be no longer bizarre.
Even after the withdrawal of troops, the shadow of American still wanders over Afghanistan.

The incident started in 2019, when a US military helicopter carried a team of soldiers suddenly attacked a village in Afghanistan.
The specific details of the attack are still "confidential". According to the US Marine Corps officer Master, who was accused of abducting the little girl, the girl's father was a "terrorist". He detonated a suicide bomb. Then the mother and five children rushed over to check the situation were shot dead by the US military because of "resistance to arrest". Only the 2-month-old girl at that time survived miraculously under the rubble. The girl had broken skull and leg and was seriously burned. She was sent to a US military hospital.
However, according to the girl's Afghan relative, the girl's family is just ordinary farmers.
The International Red Cross then began to find relatives for the girl and returned her to her to raise after she recovered.
However, Master did not know where to learn about the girl, and he began to use his relationship to adopt the girl. Master's younger brother is a lawyer for a conservative Christian group in the United States. Master found the Red Cross and asked to stop the transfer, saying that the girl's relatives were "unknown from" and that it was dangerous to hand over the children to them, but was rejected by the Red Cross.

Unwilling to give up Master wrote to the then US President Trump and Vice President Pence , suggesting that the girl be treated in a "safer environment." According to Master, Pence instructed the U.S. Embassy in Kabul to "do whatever it takes" to send the girl to the United States. But an anonymous official at the U.S. State Department said that the U.S. Embassy never received a message from Pence's office.
Last year, before the US military planned to withdraw troops in Afghanistan, Master suddenly found the family that adopted the girl and said that he could arrange for their family to go to the United States through Germany, but he must bring the girl with him.
After this family arrived in Germany, Master and his wife came to the door three times and suggested that the girl leave separately from the adults, so that it would be easier to enter the United States, but was rejected by the girl's family. After the family of
arrived in the United States, Master came to the door again and said that the girl was too young and had no formal documents. He took out a passport. The photo on it was the avatar of the girl he had pried. He asked the girl's family not to make a name and not to write a name on the passport, so that it would be easier to obtain medical insurance.
Then, Master arranged for them to go to the Ford Pickett Army National Guard Base. Shortly after entering the base, a team of US soldiers entered the room and asked them to "transfer". They were then taken to a truck with a strange woman sitting in the car. They were taken to a building they didn't know, and the woman suddenly claimed to their family that she was the girl's legal guardian. She picked up the child and handed it over to the Masters who had been waiting here. Seeing this, the girl's family begged, and Master took the girl and drove away.
Afghan law stipulates that adopting children should first consider the child's immediate family, and non-Muslim families are prohibited from adopting children. In the United States, adoption of Afghan orphans is also a very rare individual case. The angry girl family sued Master in the United States court, who believed that Master colluded with others to conspire and kidnap the child."Afghans don't need to dress up trafficking in the name of Christianity as humanitarian white saviors."
, and Master disagreed. He explained that doing so was to free the girl from the bitter sea of Afghan Taliban . If she stayed in Afghanistan, she might be treated as a human flesh bomb or sold to a brothel. His approach not only "saves the girl, but also many others." He even gave the girl an American name.

At present, the case is still under trial. Why did Master, who is already a father of two children, insist on taking the girl away? Is it kindness? We don’t know, but there are too many orphans like girls who are heading towards highly uncertain and unknown before they really start their lives.
According to UN data, in the first half of 2021, 1,659 people died and 3,524 were injured, an increase of 47% compared with the first half of 2020. The war left behind a large number of orphans, as international aid was cut off, funds were scarce, public orphanages were closed in large numbers, social care system collapsed, children wandered on the streets, wandering hungrily beside the trash cans.
Even children who have not become orphans are not much better. Some Western TV stations recorded a heartbreaking scene, and some father wanted to sell his daughter to the TV program team because he was unable to raise his daughter.
There are also children who are lying dying in a hospital with shortage of medical treatment due to malnutrition.
Psychologist Rufus Ford, an international Red Cross organization, recently disclosed a series of interviews his team did. His job is to help Afghans who have suffered great psychological trauma in the war.
Ford revealed that a great difficulty in the treatment process is that patients need to recall the experience of their father, mother, brother and sister being killed, which will slowly release powerful destructive emotions such as anger, guilt, humiliation, alienation, depression, etc. at that time, but this is equivalent to recreating trauma, and sharing with strangers is not easy. Humans always instinctively tend to avoid emotionally hurting others.
Ford said many Afghans interviewed talked about the atrocities and attacks carried out by the U.S. military. These people were originally just farmers, they didn’t have much money, but they were very happy and they could support themselves. The US military turned their homes into hell on earth, their relatives were killed in front of them, and their livestock were also killed, and they lost their means of production and living and basic dignity of survival. Essentially, their lives have been destroyed, and the only motivation to survive is to prevent the child from suffering. They believe that everything in the past has been taken away by the Americans, and they only asked over and over again, "Why are you (the United States) coming here to invade and destroy my country? What do you want to do?"
Ford has released several interview videos, several of which are interviews with orphans in Afghanistan.
Respondent: I am from a small village called Tarok Kolache in Kandahar Province, Afghanistan. I was about 8 years old that year.
Reporter: In what year did this happen?
Respondent: I think it was probably in 2003, and that's about it.
Respondent: Based on my memory, I was playing outside the village with some other children, and we heard some loud bangs like explosions. I and the other kids were all lying on the ground, because we were taught since childhood that if we heard any loud noises, gunshots or similar sounds, we must hide behind stones or something like that. But when I heard this noise, I knew something must have happened. The sound was so loud that it almost made me deaf.There was smoke and dust everywhere, people were running and screaming, and I saw some people bleeding. I was really scared, I didn't know where my family was. I see a lot of other villagers helping those who are bleeding. so I ran back to the village and I found that my father, my brother and one of my cousins were all dead. Since I left Afghanistan, I have read some reports about what happened and I know the United States said no one was killed, but that wasn't true. I know there are a lot of people in the village who were killed, including..."
respondent: Before that, I had a very happy childhood. You know, we didn't have a lot of things. We came from a very small village, we had a lot of camels, cows, goats, we had a lot of animals, I saw Americans killing our animals, I don't know why they not only kill people, but also kill animals. We grew up on these things, and these things provide us with food, our milk, butter, etc. You know, our life is very simple.
Reporter: Do you think they might have admitted you wrong? Have they tried to figure out who you are? Or they didn't admit it at all?
Respondent: I think this is a mistake because we are just farmers, you know, that's our way of life, we can't fight back, we are not wrong...
Reporter: So they can't mistake you for the armed forces against them.
respondent: not at all.
respondent: I just don't like Americans being able to enter a country so simply, impose their will on people, and force people to change their entire lives for what they want. For their own interests. I can't see what they can get from it. Very unfortunately, this kind of thing happens every day, not only in my village, but also in the whole Afu Sweat.
There are many complaints like this, perhaps intentionally ignoring or diverting your sight, or perhaps because of too many tragedies . We noticed that the transcripts of Ford's interviews were flooded in the Western public opinion field. Afghanistan is still bleeding, and the beast is already looking for the next piece of fat meat.
