Well, most people don't know that a large majority of our troops as well as mercs are indeed guarding the poppy fields and it's being funded by pharmaceutical companies. One of my best friends works for a PMC that is there right now doing just that.
Where do you think morphine, codeine, and papaverine come from?
90% of the worlds poppies come from Afghanistan. Think of the money involved here. The next best thing after oil is drugs.
The US now controls all the oil in Iraq and 90% of the opiates in the world, thanks to Afghanistan. Not too shabby.
