Retired Sergeant Nicholas Irving recently sparked online buzz after sharing candid and controversial observations about Afghanistan’s complex cultural dynamics during his military service. In a Vlad TV interview, Irving discussed witnessing a disturbing cultural practice involving “dancing boys” — young boys trained to dress and perform for older men, a tradition tied to illicit relationships. Irving revealed his shock at how normalized this was among local Afghan soldiers, including moments where male soldiers exhibited overt intimacy during mission briefings.
His comments went viral on Twitter, prompting veterans and troops to share similar experiences, highlighting an underreported aspect of military life overseas. Irving stressed this was part of broader efforts to integrate and collaborate with Afghan forces during U.S. missions aimed at winning hearts and minds. The interview sheds light on harsh realities soldiers faced beyond combat, challenging public perceptions of the Afghan warzone culture.
