I’d be so pissed off and frustrated.

2. The level of discipline it took to try and train these so called soliders is remarkable.

I would have lost my patience at the first case of backwards helmet.

3. You had me at the title. Where do I enlist? Sounds like a sour grapes excuse for leaving ...

... a war we should never have entered.

Who were big customers of this hash enterprise? US soldiers and US citizens.

4. Ha! I don't remember the last time I smoked hash. I know it wasn't in this century though.

Rock on, marble falls. Peace.

5. Every once in a while I'll get the screens out and rub out a 1/4 oz of good bud and make ...

... some hash the old fashioned way. Back in the day, we used to get Afghan hash with the gold seals on it. In the late 60's, early 70's. Then the Russians started stirring the pot politically. I always wanted to go to the Blue Moon cafe in Kabul.

I've made hash using the propane method. But having to pay attention to ventilation, humidity, temp and flash sources makes it too risky.

6. Wow, I'm not that talented. What was the draw of the Blue Moon?

8. Wow! That sure explains a lot!

It certainly explains why there was never an independent Afghan army, ready to take over, no matter how much money the U.S. sunk into the effort, how much training we attempted or how long we stayed - and why they just melted away now. I heard on one of the news shows this eek, that Joe Biden was in favor of withdrawal when he was VP. Looks like he was right...
