the US didn’t go to Afghanistan to combat the opium trade. thanks for the false equivalence, though.

    So all those DEA guys, FDA folks teaching wheat farming, millions of pounds of drugs burned, raids we conducted to "combat opium traffickers", and all the reports we were fed about how we are responsible for eradicating Afghan opium all means what, exactly? What were we (and Myself, personally) doing there, again?

    So all those DEA guys, FDA folks teaching wheat farming,

    hilarious. you should do stand-up.

    so, you’re claiming, without evidence I might add, that people from the DEA and hehehe… the FDA were teaching wheat farming to the Afghani people? The DEA and FDA. And you expect anyone to take you seriously? lmao

    and all the reports we were fed about how we are responsible for eradicating Afghan opium

    what reports? let’s see these alleged “reports”

    What were we (and Myself, personally) doing there, again?

    I have no idea what you were doing there, and if you think this is what was happening, I seriously doubt you were ever there at all.

    Man you libs really just sometimes shit all over the floor and declare you won the "argument". Its cringe as fuck.

    FDA being clearly wrong aside, its clear your reading comprehension skills fail in the face of your debate bro antics of wanting to dunk on OP and avoid addressing any of the facts said.

    aww, look at you, with your tantrums and your insults because you have no facts to back up your claims.

    and look! you even have a link that contains exactly nothing that backs up your claims. funny how you insult my reading comprehension, but if yours wasn’t so terrible, you’d see that for yourself. it’s cute how angry you are.

    sleep well.
