this is bullshit the army clears out the village then tells these bitches its clear and they got drugs 2 for you D.E.A.lers then they move in do really think theses idiots are brave yet have the trainig to fight Taliban? NO!!!
All the retards here defending the poppy growers funding terrorism are probably drug users themselves. Of course they don't care where their drugs come from or what they're funding under the table as long as they get their high when they need it.
if they want to know where the opium is they need to call the marines! They are guarding the poppy fields. Sound crazy? WATCH "Opium fields guarded by U.S. Troops in Afghanistan" and watch Geraldo talking to a Lt. Col. and his troops who's duty it is to protect the poppy fields. Before you comment WATCH IT!
Why do we need a group other than the US Military invading the taliban? When did the DEA become a military police force? I think the enemy needs to be shown how to grow other crops that can support them. Poppies have been their cash crop for centuries. Its all they know how to grow in that backwards country. Invade MEXICO please and get rid of the cartel. They are a way bigger problem, which is a way bigger threat than poppies in the Middle East!
seriously wake up people...can you watch this vid and say... " yes, these pictures are of men preserving my way of life, my freedom, my family, my country. " Those afghan men and boys are a threat to me." The powers at be have us in an eternal war. I would have wished i was one of those DEA's a year ago....until i woke up! wake up! study history! this WAR IS FALSE AND IMMORAL!!!!!
Prior to seeing these DEA videos I had no idea DEA was in Afghanistan man. Which explains a lot of the civilians I would see with weapons walking around KAF when we stoped for a night between patrols. I always just assumed they were SF, cool videos none the less man.
the Afghans used to grow crops and then found out the money was better for drugs. the best way to keep the stuff out of the US is to get it at the source. thats why the DEA operates around the world. Once it gets to the US, its already bad news.
Instead of rushing in, destroying crops, handcuffing poor ppl and running out, you should give them an alternative. Something else to grow you know? The money spent on these operations could be spent on something more useful.
you people here don't really understand things about DEA. they are there as support for Afghan police, they just help Afgan operations that Afghan gov order in their land. It's not US operation or idea. not public at least.
You dont understand the DEA, the Alpha teams are over there upholding American counter narcotic laws as most of the base drugs harvested from Afghanistan end up for sale in the Western World. This isnt as 'pure' as it looks as American interests are more at stake here then supporting the Afghan administration.
So you're telling me likely corrupt officials in Afghanistan have "hired" the DEA and these officials have the ability to command the dea's operation? This sounds fascinating any more details?
Also I'm assuming US is paying for it even though the Afghan gov controls it?
Its very rare that i post on youtube videos, because the amount of stupidty displayed here is amazing and its not worth the argument. However, the Afghan people used to grow food crops, it then became more profitable to farm opium, the Taliban continue to put pressure on the farmers to grow it and then exploit the profits. So these people wont farm anything else...fucking stupid liberals
@R396 , yeah and so would i if i had some dudes in camo smash through my door and hand cuff my family " for freedom and democracy". You are so brainwashed man! you are a pawn of the NWO that will be used up and spit out like garbage!!! George Washington was a terrorist too then!! british soldiers knocking down doors and exacting justice!! wake up tool. I would have said the same crap a year ago...before i realized i was brainwashed by conservative talk radio....WAKE UP
@aaronready1 SHUTTTT THE FUCKKKKK UPPPP PLZ. ur making urself so like a brainwash little runt. no if we just up and left afghan how would we look?? and....al-qaeda and the taliban percentage will raise again...if the afghan military wasnt so bad and corrupted we wouldnt be there for so long.
@soliderman32. AND DON'T EVER TELL ME I CAN'T SAY ANYTHING UNTIL I'VE BEEN IN THE WAR. THIS IS THE DEFINITION OF TYRANNY. WAKE UP SOLDIER! YOUR DUTY IS TO THE CONSTITUTION! YOU NEED TO KNOW NON-STATIST HISTORY! I DO KNOW HISTORY, YOU DON'T KNOW MILTARY HISTORY. WAKE UP FRIEND. YOUR NOT DEFENDING AMERICA....YOUR DEFENDING CIA AND BIG BANKS.
@aaronready1 blaa blaa blaaaa. I'LL TELL U WHATEVER THE FUCK I WANT . just think this b4 u reply......if we pull out afghan how will we look? wat will happen to aghan? wat will happen to the afghanis? wat will happen to al qaeda and the taliban and islamic terrorists? wat will happen to usa and its allies?? tell me.
@soliderman32 I agree, but we already lost the day "Sharia Law" was included in the Afghan "Constitution". Women are just as enslaved as before we got there. They still have horrible Islamic extremism, and with our permission too. Its STILL an Islamic fundamentalist run country! Plus, unless we invade Pakistan, the war in not winnable. There is no army to defeat. Just invading poppy fields is not a war, its being afghan police escorts.
@aaronready1 i kno those operators dont like breakin into houses and handcuff families but they have to do it. if it disrupts the taliban and al qaeda then let it be... until ur in the war DONT SAY ANYTHING cause u dont kno wats goin on....
@soliderman32, i have NOTHING against DEA or Military....but the brainwash is that we've come to except the military propaganda of " just do your duty, do your job". But a soldier takes and oath to UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION! Soldiers are accountable to that. The military creates such incredible pressure and even physical threats on soldiers and disagree. Many soldiers simply can't say anything without major repercussions.
@soliderman32 , one of the greatest soldiers ever agrees with me...look into him... Smedley Butler, two time Congressional medal of honor, among other things...
@JangosSoulja Get real...you think growing Corn would make even a fraction of the money? Besides who gives a shit about the growers, they all use. They are no different than a Meth Lab! Burn all of them. Or let them grow something else..Corn where it would take 1000 acres to make what you could with a 1/2 acre of Poppy, not to mention the extra work.
@MrUS1972 They could at least eat the corn. However, i dont remember saying anything about growing corn in afghanistan, so i dont really understand why you tell me that. There can be a lot of other options.
The DEA can't win the "War on Drugs" at home. How and the hell are we going to win it over there? All they did was take food off the freaking table for the people who live in the village.
I agree, a much better alternative would to buy the poppies ourselves and just destroy what we buy.
This will boost what little economy Afghanistan has and will thus make life better for them. And when things are better as a result of what we do, they will turn against the taliban and it will only be a matter of time before we win the war.
same goes for Iraq, we couldn't have won if the people sided against us.
@Alexn1067 or better yet buy poppies and use them to extract codeine and morphine for pharmaceutical purposes. Where do you think the morphine they use in hospitals comes from? It isn't economically feasible to synthesize morphine so they grow poppies instead. I agree with you about Iraq too. Petty there are so many retards around these days that can't see the big picture.
Were the FAST Teams working with the FFL? About 30 seconds into the video the gunner on the helicopter had the insignia of the FFL on his left arm. Looks like a Spartan mohawk and a knife.
We have lost the drug war it was declared 40 years ago and drugs have never become less prevalent or popular why keep losing good men to a failed cause?
I love the us but when it comes to the dea im rooting for the taliban

these are villagers who probably depend on this crop for their livelihoods. They are just growing a plant that provides them money.
You should go shut down the people that are making the money instead of going for the easy targets that you can bully around.
