- burchie2, on 10/11/2007, -2/+103this should be the new recruitment video.

- Phrag, on 10/11/2007, -2/+83Not getting stoned and being fired at?
- the6thReplicant, on 10/11/2007, -1/+36Can't think of anything worse than getting stoned and being fired at!
- Phrag, on 10/11/2007, -6/+32SHAZAM! (anyone who gets this reference is offically too old for the internet. please leave now)
- Coniferous, on 10/11/2007, -6/+31Man, i hope they let them smoke some on their free time. Hopefully it would help them relax, i'm sure that being shot at all the time really grates on the nerves.
- leftfield, on 10/11/2007, -2/+27right after you, Private Pyle.
- catfish182, on 10/11/2007, -7/+31well he hit up Iraq for oil right?
What the hell do you think we went to Afghanistan for?
GW hits the pipe - raoulduke87, on 10/11/2007, -2/+25I guess the women aren't the only people getting stoned in Afghanistan.
too soon? - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -4/+25@mdhauke
This video doesn't prove they were right to censor the internet. It shows that the military is totally out of touch with reality and uses censorship to limit the public embarrassment. Us leftwingers do "understand the military." We're just post-militarism and all the demented worldview required to make it work. Spread this video and set up a public proxy for your military friends. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -3/+23This made my day twice yesterday.
- kushed, on 10/11/2007, -3/+21I should hurt you for saying such a inhumane thing.
- metalhead3767, on 10/11/2007, -10/+28I used to think Afghanistan was the ***** hole of the world. Now I realize that its hevan.
- vertinox, on 10/11/2007, -2/+20Actually, people don't realize this but pot is legal in Afghanistan and Pakistan and many British nationals go to Pakistan on holiday because of this.
Alcohol on the other hand... - Caleb83, on 10/11/2007, -3/+21Didn't this just get popular on digg within the last 24 hours? I guess Digg loves them some pot.
- Cozmcphish, on 10/11/2007, -1/+18Looks to me like this is a good way to knock some 0's off of the total price we've spent on the war.
- jeremy66158, on 10/11/2007, -5/+22This is a funny considering two stories down on digg's front page it says posts like this are going to be banned by the military starting today. Now I see why they don't want Americans to see what the troops are doing.
- FrankieBallz, on 10/11/2007, -2/+18Most weed grown in afghanistan/pakistan is used to make hash, good weed does not get shipped around the world w/ out getting stepped on repeatedly.
- LogicBomB, on 10/11/2007, -2/+18"Sir, we were just checking for those... uhhh... oh man, *****, what was I talking about? Right, right, right! Terrorists!"
- Frozo, on 10/11/2007, -3/+19@danarama:
You are exactly right. Marijuana is illegal in the USA. Just another example of our force-feeding our view on the rest of the world. Its possible that they just came across this field and just stopped to film it, but Im guessing it was destroyed because it "fueled" terrorism. Im pretty damn sure the weed coming into the USA is NOT from Afganistan. - KamikazeeDriver, on 10/11/2007, -1/+13doesn't everybody?
- mattmollysdad, on 10/11/2007, -1/+13with different music and less armor it reminds me of Nam.
- orian76, on 10/11/2007, -1/+12Marijuana, the peace maker.
- DJCult, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11@Pure. Much like yourself. Please, remove yourself from the internets.
- norman619, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10I never understood why Marijuana is illegal yet tabacco isn't. I'd say any drug that is harder to put down than meth is pretty bad. Oh WAIT!!! There aren't huge companies growing the stuff with enough money to buy the US government. DUH!
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -4/+13I don't know what we were thinking! The real treasure is in the fields of Afghanistan!
- KamikazeeDriver, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10who'd thought afghanistan would have the potential to be the next amsterdam, minus the scantily clad women of course, and music, and anything else awesome.
- vertinox, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9To be more clear... It depends on which part of Pakistan you are in if pot is legal or not:

Most places that it is locally banned you can get off by paying a fine or bribing the cops. And by legal in Afghanistan I mean the authorities ignore it since it isn't against Sharia law. - gheide, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8Just legalize the stuff and make some of our war money back...
- Civil44, on 10/11/2007, -7/+14That made my day lol
- spudnic, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9@shuffle2 (#6677603)
There was a story in a news a few years back here in the UK (can't remember exactly when) about a field of hemp that was being grown in view of a major road, all the motorists were stopping and filling their cars full of the stuff without realising it was just hemp - cybermort, on 10/11/2007, -13/+20just getting fired at ?
- chijim70, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Poppy production has more than quadrupled since we ousted most of the taliban...
"Another key player in the Bush Administration, Deputy Secretary of Defense Richard Armitage, left his post as an Assistant Secretary of Defense in the Reagan Administration after a series of scandals connected to CIA operatives Ed Wilson, Ted Shackley, Richard Secord and Tom Clines placed him at the brink of criminal indictment and jail. Shackley and Secord are veterans of Vietnam operations and have long been linked to opium/heroin smuggling. The Armitage scandals all focused on the illegal provision of weapons and war materiel to potential or actual enemies of the U.S. and to the Contras in Central America.
Armitage, a former Navy SEAL, who reportedly enjoyed combat missions and killing during covert operations in Laos during the Vietnam War, has never been far from the Bush family’s side. Throughout his career, both in and out of government, he has been perpetually connected to CIA drug smuggling operations. Secretary of State Colin Powell, in a 1995 Washington Post story, called Armitage, “my white son.” In 1990, then President Bush dispatched Armitage to Russia to aid in its “transition” to capitalism. Armitage’s Russian work for Bush has been frequently connected to the explosion of drug trafficking under the Russian Mafias, which became virtual rulers of the nation afterwards. In the early 1990s Armitage had extensive involvement in Albania at the same time that the Albanian ally, Kosovo Liberation Army was coming to power and consolidating its grip, according to The Christian Science Monitor, on 70% of the heroin entering western Europe.

Afghanistan's rural farmers, apparently. - Urusai, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7Way to be a buzzkill.

- spudnic, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6@norman619 (#6677403)
Making tobacco illegal would lose the government a tonne of tax money, making marijuana legal would mean going back on a lot of moral and political crap the government has said.
There's no conspiracy - sweckz, on 10/11/2007, -7/+12Someone already posted this in the video section. Which is where it should belong anyway.
http://digg.com/videos/people/Video_Because_I_got_High - Shaman760, on 10/11/2007, -3/+7I guess Bob Marley is passe' now. (sigh)
- drmobutu, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6I was gonna catch OBL, but I got high...
- zappo1776, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4It looks like one soldier is out there picking through the field looking for prime buds. I've heard weed improves shooting accuracy. ;)
- danarama, on 10/11/2007, -8/+12so what it's a weed plantation it's non of their ***** business it's the afghan people's business. literally.
- sallos, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5Stop being so negative, they weren't doing anything about it. They were just hanging out the same as if they were standing around by the Eiffel tower if they were in Paris.
- ripstuntz, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5See the guy trowling around in the field the entire video? I think there's a little cultivation going down here....
- kushed, on 10/11/2007, -4/+7So thats where my Afgani Kush comes from.
- eatsushi, on 10/11/2007, -5/+8Drool....
why couldn't they light those weed fields on fire instead of the oil fields? - jonnydeformed, on 10/11/2007, -4/+7legalize it
- altjeringa, on 10/11/2007, -3/+5Hey I thought buying pot supported terrorism. Now that there aren't any more terrorists in Afghanistan what does buying pot support? ( Oil Companies? )
