U.S. Marines tasked with guarding the opium crops. Its really bad but has to be done. Who makes money off of this opium? Is it the farmers making all the money from these crops? Doubt it. This is nothing more than war for profit and they shove it in your face. Marines grow opium for their masters.

Geraldo Rivera back on a war zone scene. This was from back in the day when Afghanistan was producing most of the Opium for the world.

Look into the cia and the khost protection force. Long story short but the cia we’re selling the opium in Iran using the money to fund hit squads (the kpf) in the Khost/tribal areas of Pakistan. When human rights groups got hold of it, (the kpf we’re going a bit ott, massacring whole villages of men) there was ‘a plane crash’ and a couple cia agents, coincidentally along with the box full of cash, “died” and the money “burned up”. I know this because I researched it for a script I’m writing. I talked to a load of green berets that were out there looking after the poppy fields/arranging security to the border.
