Because it's a fucking stupid distortion of the truth that only retards with a access to grind choose to believe in despite it being self-evidently being retarded?
Hell, I'll even answer this one for you;
The entire fucking region is covered in poppy fields. Its one of Afghanistan's #1 exports. Literally was, at the time. It also happened to be that patrols would move through those fields, and the Taliban liked planting IEDs in the fields to kill people. So there are several reasons to guard the fields.
>Keep people from placing IEDs along actual patrol routes (Again, the place is covered in fields, so you have to move through them. DUH.)
>It's people's livlihood, whether you like it or not. You can't win hearts and mind by destroying the local farms.
>What, you want us to go in there and burn all their shit, despoil their land, and curse them to losing all their money and starving?
Yet you dipshits will just spin some narrative about American troops being drug dealers, like some propagandist clown. Don't realize that you're pretty much saying "I'm ignorant and I don't give a shit because it suits my political vice!"
It's literally a fucking game for you on twitter. You're ignorant and proud. You're a gullible tard, and you don't care because it's expedient to your narrative. You'll say whatever the fuck you have to to suit your faction, even if you know it's a lie.
