It is a disturbing video that the Pentagon doesn’t want you to see – for obvious reasons.
Why? Because it shows US combat troops smoking hashish in Afghanistan.
“Hit that (blank) man..oh ya there you go…(laughing in the background). Looks like you don this before? I don’t know if your CID (Criminal Investigation) or not now. That sucker hits you don’t it. Ya it does. Ha ha. I hit it hard! Common …one hit, said one soldier to another. Laughing. Cough , cough…Strong. Show professional soldiers worldwide how you do it. We should mail this (blank) to High Times. Take it all in, non stop, non stop…Ha, ha ha, ha…”

The video is something the Pentagon doesn’t want us to show you or report on.
In our opinion the facts of the video speak for themselves – we make no value judgement about the troops involved.
This particular video has been taken down repeatedly from Youtube, but keeps popping up again if different places under different titles…
Thus far it has been downloaded tens of thousands of times.
The Pentagon does not want you to see such things because it shows the total lack of professionalism of American soldiers who do all kinds of stuff in Afghanistan when they are not being watched. Smoking hash is just one of those things they do. Granted its not as bad as raping children in Afghanistan:

There are hundreds of videos showing soldiers acting badly, getting drunk, shooting at people, screaming and cursing at civilians.
“Generally speaking when videos like this surface it reflects a lack of discipline enforcement by the NCO’s and officers in charge of the troops”, said Pvt. Jones of Ft. Bragg.
“It reflects badly on the US Army, as did the video of US Marines urinating on dead bodies and US military police torturing Iraqi’s in prison in all sorts of sadistically cruel and sexual ways. I can tell you also that soldiers in Afghanistan get drunk as hell sometimes and act the fool. Worse yet the Pentagon buys the beer for the soldiers to drink – its disgusting”, he said.
NOTE: Out of fear of retaliation Pvt. Jones didn’t want us to use his first name or unit in this report.
