I’m really curious about the role opium played with American military policy in Afghanistan. 80% of the worlds opium comes from Afghanistan. The taliban doesn’t like it because of religion and social reasons yet they allow it to exist because of the money that trickles back to them. I really want to know why the US wasn’t more involved with destroying it. I’ve heard Americans soldiers be frustrated that they felt like they were guarding it and how much it was used by ANA. If I’m correct, Pat Tillman was actually going to talk about that before is strange and unfortunate death. <br>If anyone has some insight that would be appreciated.
