Question

Why isn't our military bombing the Taliban's opium fields?

Answer 1

it's not necessary. our prison system is 300% over capacity, highest felony rate in the world, and yet we're boasting about our freedom.

Answer 2

Good question  I know heroin and other drugs are killing this country with so many young people addicted and stealing to their fix

Answer 3

Not the federal one.  You show me where 'drugs' are mentioned anywhere in the enumerated powers.

Answer 4

Because herion from that opium,

Goes to Europe, not America.

Herion coming into America, comes from asia.

Why should the US care about European drug addicts ?

Answer 5

bombing agricultural fields is not an effective measure.

Picture a large field of wheat. Now picture a big crater in the middle of it. Loss in wheat production? Maybe 10%

Crop dusters (which the military doesn't own but we can hire) are the answer. We used them in Mexico and Columbia to great effect. In Afghanistan we have been succeeding using different programs, but there is still a ways to go. 100% success will require true and lasting peace and more dead jihadists.
