As far as the drugs are concerned whilst capturing 27.5 kgs of opium is good, in the grand scheme of things it's not very important. The afghanistan opium crop this years is estimated to be around 4,200 tons of the stuff. The main news orgs probably arent't covering this because it's not much of a story.

Yawn. No big deal. Our army battered, scarred and overextended and 10Ks dead for a lie. 10k American limbs and minds shredded for no reason. Big black mark there. Get over it. Maybe Syria will come out better. Or maybe Social Security has WMDs. Let's move on.

This is confirmation that the drug trade is alive and well after the Taliban left.
