#2 "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

#4 'In response, the crew of at least one armored car had camouflaged their vehicle with marijuana."

Last time I checked hanging Mary Jane upside down off the side of a vehicle was a good way as any to dry it out... I wonder how long their superiors will allow them to camo their armored carrier in this manner?

Hopefully for a long time... fight on boys... fight on!

#25 They could see over those marygeewanna plants with one of these... and have a blast at the same time.
Dunno if it can carry a camera, but they probably won't care.

#28 high times magazine had an article a few a couple years back about the afghan marjuana, and it was not the smoking kind. It was hemp

#29 The High Times reporter must have been stoned out of his mind since Afghan hash has always been the most popular and available, except during the Soviet invasion.

The gentleman wears Hawaiian shirts, according to Shipman. I'm sure we're all better off not knowing. ;-)

The only real problem in all of this is not that Frank wears Hawiian shirts, it's just that a Hawiian shirt is all he wears.
