Afghan Animal House

For those parents out there sending their kids off to college and fearing hazing rituals at your kids’ fraternity or dorm, rest easy. The worst coming-of-age story isn’t coming from any U.S. university or even a private prep school. It’s coming from the U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan, and it doesn’t involve people too young to either vote or drink.

It involves people who should know way better than to dance around naked or stick their noses in places where they really, really, really don’t belong—especially when they’ve been drinking heavily and they see people taking photographs of their exploits.

The Project On Government Oversight (POGO) complained to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Tuesday that claimed private security guards working for ArmorGroup complained of mistreatment and intimidation while they were based in Kabul to help guard the U.S. embassy there. ArmorGroup, which is owned by Palm Beach-based Wackenhut Services Inc., has been dinged before for alleged shortcomings.

Acccording to CNN:

"This is well beyond partying," said Danielle Brian, POGO's executive director, after showing a video of a man with a bare backside, and another man apparently drinking a liquid that had been poured down the man's lower back.

She told CNN that ranking supervisors were "facilitating this kind of deviant hazing and humiliation, and requiring people to do things that made them feel really disgusted."

Wackenhut didn’t comment to media on Tuesday, but said it would have some response today.
