My Comment: You do not have to go to Kabul to witness bizarre behavior. You can find that in most American cities. The key questions that need to be asked are .... was this behavior occurring on duty. Were participants forced to act like this. Were laws broken. Was security compromised.

An affirmative to any of these questions should result in firings and punishment.
