Marines ignore Taliban cash crop to not upset Afghan locals
The Marines of Bravo Company's 1st Platoon sleep beside a grove of poppies. Troops in the 2nd Platoon playfully swat at the heavy opium bulbs while walking through the fields. Afghan laborers scraping the plant's gooey resin smile and wave.
Hey, if you can't be in law enforcement, join the Marines if drugs are your thing.
