| Anonymous Coward User ID: 64793271 United States10/15/2015 01:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We are there to protect and promote the poppy crop. It fuels the incredibly lucrative heroin trade, from which certain semi-ultra-national organizations are funded with unaccountable "black" money. We've been in Afghanistan 14 years. No one can say what would constitute a "victory" there. Clearly, U.S. troops are behaving as security guards, protecting something; rather than a military force taking and hiding territory. Prior to the U.S. invasion in 2001, the Taliban had completely eradicated opium production in Afghanistan during their brief 6-year rule. Opium is why we're there. I feel very sorry for anyone whose relative or friend in the U.S. military was sent there and was killed. This country needs an enema. |

First thing we did when we got there was post a Marine guard for the poppy crops, best place to grow it. But its the CIA thats running the OP, for their black bag actions You can ignore the consequences of your actions, but you cannot ignore the RESULTS of the consequences of your actions Ayn Rand |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 68522537 United States10/15/2015 01:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to news.yahoo.com] Quoting: ^^Mountain Woman^^ Last week, I would have been glad to hear this, as the Taliban and ISIS are rearing their ugly heads in Afghanistan. I don't want to see another vacuum open up for ISIS. I used to think we were there to destroy the poppy crop, so the Taliban would not get their dirty hands on it. That is until I saw the below photograph. It shows allied forces watching over a group of villagers harvesting opium under their watch and protection. :opte11:  Yes indeed OP!!! |
