"The practice is so widespread that at least one of the 2014 Afghan presidential candidates was a onetime C.I.A.-backed warlord, Gul Agha Shirzai, who was widely accused of being a pedophile who keeps bacha bazi boys"
"Sgt. First Class Charles Martland, a highly decorated Green Beret, was forced out of the military after beating up an Afghan local police commander in Kunduz who was a child rapist. Sergeant Martland became incensed after the Afghan commander abducted the boy, raped him, then beat up the boy’s mother when she tried to rescue him. Congressional inquiries apparently led to Sergeant Martland’s reinstatement"

This old thread has a whole bunch of really good links about pedophilia in Afghanistan and Pakistan:

The military tried to punish American guys who got enraged by Afghanistani molesters and stopped them, or even beat them up:

although they have since backed down after public outrage followed.
and the military actually has a policy of not interfering with traditional pedophilia practices in Islamic countries:
