Bacha bazi refers to a practice in parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan where young boys are often used for entertainment and sexual purposes by older men in positions of power. While there have been reports of this practice occurring in areas where the US military was present, it has not been verified that US soldiers turned a blind eye to it or participated in it. However, there have been concerns about child sexual abuse committed by US soldiers in other contexts, particularly in the context of the Abu Ghraib scandal. It's important to address such issues and to work towards creating a culture of respect and safety for all individuals, particularly children who are particularly vulnerable to abuse and exploitation.
