4/ The elders told us how the Taliban used to come into town and steal their crops. Now, with U.S. Army protection, the farmers could harvest in peace and sell their crops at market prices. The Taliban were still their customers, but at least now they got paid, thanks to the U.S. — PolitiTweet.org

3/ We were greeted by the Army unit stationed there. Their leader was an impressive guy from Goshen, CT. These guys were bad ass, and rightly proud of having run the Taliban out of town. They introduced us to the village elders, and we set off for a tour of the town. — PolitiTweet.org

5/ As we walked, we noticed the fields were filled with gorgeous, colorful flowers. We asked the elder what this crop was, the one they now sold to the Taliban. "Poppy", he said, without hesitation. — PolitiTweet.org
