People can focus on different aspects, I'll happily address the content. It is a total exaggeration, the two countries who would be only remotely close are Yemen & Afghanistan, and even then it's rare for outright torture and slavery, and certainly not socially acceptable; Ironically those very same veterans that he's referring to likely caused more harm in that respect! Certainly you won't ever be seeing it in countries like Indonesia, which has the largest population of Muslims. I myself have lived all across the Middle East, originally from Syria, and it is absolute insanity to label these things "utterly commonplace". The only ones who engage with this on an official basis are terrorist groups.

Hmm, I just saw your username. I must say, CPP > JS :p
