Did the US pursue a policy of building mines in Afghanistan? Did they promote poppy cultivation?
- jessaustin 5y agoPoppy cultivation was serially outlawed, punished, tolerated, encouraged, etc, start again. Different policies came through on a regular basis, with no more reliance on logic or local circumstances than any other USA military policy in Afghanistan. The only constant was that nobody screwed with fields owned by powerful people e.g. Ahmed Wali Karzai.
