Invariably, drugs follow the US military. In this case Afghanistan is biggest manufacturer and exporter of heroin. This is a shift from the old ways of doing things where they grew the poppies and exported the opium and hashish. The Army has found itself in the motherland of heroin. Given that the heroin is readily available and cheap, with morale down, is the US Army seeing a growing problem with this wicked addiction?
Follow on question: Is drug use the reason that the Taliban were able to sneak up on the outposts?
