Former U.S. Army Ranger Nicholas Irving shared a striking experience from his deployment in Afghanistan involving local cultural practices he found difficult to comprehend. Irving recounted that during a casual meeting with Afghan tribesmen, one man shockingly offered him a number of donkeys in exchange for his wife—a reflection of the different norms regarding women’s roles and rights in the region. He highlighted the severe restrictions Afghan women face, including being subject to harsh punishment for minor social interactions and having no say in arranged marriages or family decisions.
Irving also discussed the troubling prevalence of child exploitation and the cultural acceptance of certain abuses, which U.S. forces were often instructed not to interfere with. His account offers a rare glimpse into the complex and troubling customs within Afghanistan, contrasting sharply with Western values and underscoring the challenges foreign troops faced beyond combat.
