Wasting a lot of tax money.

Opium is in Afghanistan. CIA runs it to the states and sells it to you. Then the cops arrest you for it. You now have to pay the lawyers and court fees to try to get out of it. Nope, now you are in jail. Do you want to work off some of that time? Here is 20 cent an hour and a shovel.

We are selling drugs.
Leaving is not part of the plan.

I was ddeployed to afghanistan twice. we burned marijuana fields and never touched opium fields. I remember asking my lt if this was serious and this is what we were tasked to do for mission when it came up. He gave me a defeated look and we went on with our day. We even hired out contractors to bulldoze the fields. Afterwards, we would give the guy who owned the fields rice or some shit to grow instead. They would then HAVE to grow opium to make up for their losses. I wish I was kidding.

I don't r3member exactly but I remember he remained as professional in his response as possible. To be honest, it's not like I understood it (opium) at the time, I just knew what we were doing felt weird and seemed not to make any sense; we trusted our leadership

Opium. There is no getting out until something is done about the incessant need to drug the population into submission.

They could just stick to playing the stock market and crashing planes into buildings to move the markets. Worked fine for them historically.

And lithium. Musk needs that feedstock.
