Idiots for the day

Dan Bilefsky has an article in The New York Times about French military idiots:

Two French soldiers accused of sexually abusing two young girls in Burkina Faso have been repatriated to France and arrested, prosecutors said recently. The Frenchmen are suspected of having abused girls, ages three and five, in a hotel pool in Ouagadougou, the capital, the Paris prosecutor's office said.
Agnès Thibault-Lecuivre, a spokeswoman for the Paris prosecutor’s office, confirmed the arrests and said an investigation was underway. She said that the two victims are dual citizens of France and Burkina Faso. Thibault-Lecuivre said by telephone that the two men, ages 36 and 38, were suspected of having sexually abused the girls in a pool at a hotel in Ouagadougou, the capital.
Le Monde reported that the concerns about abuse came to light after the mother of the victims found video footage on a camera that one of the soldiers had left behind.
The French Defense Ministry announced that it had suspended the two soldiers, who were deployed to the West African country as part of a counterterrorism mission.
The case is the second involving accusations of sexual misconduct by French soldiers in recent months.
In April of 2015, The Guardian reported that a group of children from the Central African Republic had been sexually abused at a center for displaced people in Bangui, the capital, between December of 2013 and June of 2014. Citing a leaked report by the United Nations and victims’ testimony, the newspaper reported that a group of boys, some of whom were orphans and as young as nine, said they had been raped and sodomized by French troops, in some cases in return for food. The soldiers were there as part of a United Nations peacekeeping mission.
French prosecutors have ordered a criminal investigation, and fourteen soldiers are under investigation. Although the French authorities were accused of responding too slowly to the child abuse accusations in the Central African Republic, the response in Burkina Faso appears to have been swift. 

Rico says that, with all the easily- and cheaply-available women in poor countries, WTF are these idiots doing with such young girls (and boys)? (Okay, okay, there are perverts who like them young, but this is ridiculous...)
