    You:

    the US didn’t give a shit about it at all

    Response:

    the United States spent more than $9 billion on a dizzying array of programs to deter Afghanistan from supplying the world with heroin

    You:

    lmao, so?

    That doesn’t prove it’s why they were there.

    Now the goal post has been moved to WhY?!? were we there? Throw up some more pretty images to explain the situation please.

      wow, that’s quite the pretzel you’d twisted yourself into trying score some imaginary “point”.

      The “goal post” was always the “why” and it was never to eradicate opium. Every source, every article linked here bears that out. all that’s ben proven here is:

      the US didn’t give a shit about it at all

      ya got me there. they did care. still doesn’t prove that it’s why the US was there, and, in fact, several of the linked sources directly state to the contrary against claims that it was.

      try not to hurt yourself with more of those mental gymnastics. it’s hilarious to watch

      edit: ya know, you probably wouldn’t be so outraged and angry all the time if you didn’t constant make stuff up to be outraged and angry about.
