6. Cannabis is a major crop in Afghanistan |
|
the locals can't use alcohol, but even though Hasish is frowned upon, people smoke it. Cannabis seeds are also roasted and salted as a snack.

13. The most kick-ass smoke I ever had was some few, uh, |
|
decades ago - Afghan black hash, blended with opium.
That cost me a few million brain cells, let me tell you.

15. dark brown cakes with white streaks through it and a gold leaf |

Nice that the guy on the left has his BAR pointed at the poor guy on the right.
Hope the safety's on!

7. Dang! Ya beat me to it! |

Although it's actually an M240 machine gun, aka the FN MAG. That was the one that virtually every NATO country except the US used. SU troops got stuck with the M60 up until a few years ago. Apparently it was well known as the world's worst machine gun--plagued by jamming, breakage, and lousy human engineering (e.g., changing a hot barrel was ridiculously complicated and required wearing an asbestos glove--which of course you'd always have with you and never lose, even in the middle of a big battle).
Only took 40-odd years for someone to progress from "This thing sux" to "We should use the other one". And a few billion dollars. And probably a few thousand lives...

9. Oops! Thanks for the correction |
|
The closest I've ever gotten to a BAR was my GI Joe figure "Rock-n-Roll" about 22 years ago.
Still, even I know better than to point one at my buddy!
