POGO, the Project On Government Oversight, today exposed that employees of Wackenhut who guard the US Embassy in Kabul routinely have been having naked drunk-fests where potato chips are eaten out of each others ass cracks, vodka drank off ass cracks and over-the-top frat boy antics performed on station.
More serious, the guards one night stole all night vision goggles from the compound and ventured out into Kabul dressed as natives, leaving the embassy "night blind". For this they received a phoney letter of commendation forged on State Department stationary.
450 Wackenhut employees guard the embassy and the turn-over rate is nearly 100% annually as so many complain about the drunken fests.
From POGO's letter to Secretary Clinton:
Numerous emails, photographs, and videos portray a Lord of the Flies environment. One email from a current guard describes scenes in which guards and supervisors are "peeing on people, eating potato chips out of [buttock] cracks, vodka shots out of [buttock] cracks (there is video of that one), broken doors after drnken [sic] brawls, threats and intimidation from those leaders participating in this activity…." (Attachment 2) Photograph after photograph shows guards—including supervisors—at parties in various stages of nudity, sometimes fondling each other. These parties take place just a few yards from the housing of other supervisors.
Multiple guards say this deviant hazing has created a climate of fear and coercion, with those who declined to participate often ridiculed, humiliated, demoted, or even fired. The result is an environment that is dangerous and volatile. Some guards have reported barricading themselves in their rooms for fear that those carrying out the hazing will harm them physically. Others have reported that AGNA management has begun to conduct a witch hunt to identify employees who have provided information about this atmosphere to POGO.
Many may be unaware that the majority of US "forces" in Afganistan are in fact "private contractors" (ie: mercenaries)NYT Story Today. Not to be a prude and certainly not to be unappreciative of male-to-male naked bonding (it's gr8), but imagine how these types of people treat Afghan civilians. Also, it seems "gay" behaviour is okay, so long as you're not really gay.
