Maybe, they'll light 'em on fire and smoke them out....laughing...

"We tried burning them with white phosphorus — it didn't work. We tried burning them with diesel — it didn't work. The plants are so full of water right now ... that we simply couldn't burn them," he said.

Even successful incineration had its drawbacks.

"A couple of brown plants on the edges of some of those (forests) did catch on fire. But a section of soldiers that was downwind from that had some ill effects and decided that was probably not the right course of action," Hillier said dryly.

One soldier told him later: "Sir, three years ago before I joined the army, I never thought I'd say 'That damn marijuana.'"

LOL that's funny! Too bad one of the soldiers who inhaled the 'brown plants' could have made a comment like, "hmm... good stuff but not as great as BC Bud".

I can just see it now.....US soldiers staring at each other slackjawed. "Everything's so greeeeen!"

See, if I were in command, I'd monitor this grove until the pot is ripe. Then I'd cut it all down, sling load up from CH-47s and fly it back to base and dry it out in the sun. Then I'd pack it into 50lb bundles and store it until the next mission and then I'd postion 100lbs of it down wind of the target and then light it on fire so that the smoke billows into the Al Qaeda or Taliban postitions for about an hour, then I'd have PSYOPs blast Dark Side Of The Moon on loud speakers for about 20 minutes. Then I'd send SF guys up with a dozen pizzas and see who wants to surrender, then I'd use lazer-pointers to distract the hard cases and bonk them with leather saps and take them all back to the base. I would put them in a holding area with the smoke from the ganja circulating throughout, then bring them in for interrogation, the only problem will be getting them to focus and then to shut up.

Then sell the excess weed in Bagdhad , along with Aghan heroin, so that we can get the insurgents there stoned. We could pay off the war and pay off the deficit and maybe pay for universal healthcare.

We'd have to keep it secret because soon we'd be overrun by "Jiihadists" from Seattle who've come to get captured by the CIA because they have the best shit.

Dude, I'm from Olympia, not Seattle... And no, don't blast Dark Side of the Moon, I'm more into Hendrix...

Just make sure there's no pork toppings on that pizza, or the whole plan might fall apart. And there aren't any "jihadists" in Seattle. Moses Lake or Spokane, possibly. Shelton and Chehalis, definitely. But not Seattle. Or Olympia.

10' tall plants that won't die? This reminds me of the Little Shop of Horrors!

Still flying from the Jessica Alba situation? It's been two days...What did you take Ax?

Canadian troops battle ten-foot high marijuana plants, eh? I can only imagine how tramatic, and how deadly that must have been for the Canadian military. This must have been Canada's biggest invasion since..............well.............ummmmm, Adam and Eve were tempted by the snake.

I can only hope that once the Canadian Troops landed in this field, to fight the Marijuana Plant Jihad, they didn't lay down their weapons and surrender.

Stay Strong Canada, WE GOT YOUR BACK!!!!!!

HH <-----We'll interogate these marijuana plants, for ya!!!------

I usually avoid the political threads like the plague but had to respond.

Do you think there is a very strategic reason why Canada doesn't have a stronger military? Do you think that there is a political reason why the U.S. has stated administration after administration that they will help protect Canada? I am pretty sure it has a lot to do with not wanting a strong military presence sitting next door. Just food for thought. Certainly not starting a political debate. Not my turf.

This is Canada we are talking about, not France.

I usually stay out of the political threads myself, but I have a a good hypothesis on why Canada doesn't have a strong military. Maybe they don't feel the need to stick their noses in everyone else's business and want to police the world like we do.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled weed discussion.

**billy007** · 10.16.06, 01:36 PM

Interesting question really. Perhaps it's because Canada fears no invasion from her neighbours to the south. Maybe it's because Canada is an arm of the British Empire, and the British Army is considered part of the Canadian army (or vice versa)?

**Axxman300** · 10.16.06, 05:24 PM

Hey! Knock off the stupid Canadian shit.

They've been in Afghanistan, AT OUR SIDE, since day one. Their sniper teams saved many 101st Airborne and 10th Mountain soldiers lives. In fact, a Canadian sniper team got a fucking head-shot at a range of 1 mile. This was AFTER one of our F-16s screwed up and dropped a 2000lb bomb on their infantry, who was simple doing a practice live-fire. The Canadians would have been justified in pulling their troops out on the spot, in fact the leftist-bedwetters in their government were calling for just that, but the government hung in there. In fact, they're the ones who weren't distracted by Iraq.

There's somethings you need to know:

Canada insn't France.

Canadians will fight. Hard.

Canadian soldiers are great guys and pay attention in class, which is why they rarely fuck up in the field.

Canadians headed off a huge 9/11 sized Islamic terrorist attack that was to target major government facilities. That puts them ahead of us.

This guy:

Lost a finger as an artillery officer in the Canadian Army on fucking D-Day.

If you still feel like giving Canadians shit about their military, do so in a bar near the Cree reservation. Please.

Canada isn't the United States but they can get the job done...when they get a job.
