The Raw Story | Marines ignore Afghan opium so as not to upset locals

Ignoring the poppies: Good idea! It would be like soldiers coming here to Canada and destroying our grain crops and our livestock. Opium is their livelyhood!

On another note... How long have we been "fighting" the Taliban? Aren't they supposed to be some rag tag group with old technology wearing dresses? One word comes to mind: Incompetence. I might bite my tongue later for that, oh well.

The Law of Requisite Variety: "The larger the variety of actions available to a control system, the larger the variety of perturbations it is able to compensate." It's often the forces that are most outnumbered that will in a state of desperation, turn to anything that can give them an edge.

At the time of the review this news is old althouh still relevant. The army is using Anthropologists as a cultural filter to help them do their job in new, quicker, and more precise ways. Some argue this will give a bad name to anthropology as a whole while others, including the soldiers, seem to praise these culural-scientists for their insight that allows them to have a new peace of mind and do their job better.
