All DEA, Please Report to Afghanistan [Man Up]

The graveyard of empires has some new residents, America’s much-loved DEA agentry.

McClatchy reports lengthily this week that some DEA pilots are being “forced” into tours inside Afghanistan and are none too happy about it; further proving God exists and has a fine sense of humor. After turning America in a war zone, these fine drug warriors shall now taste some real action.

“You could say that the war on drugs is dangerous,” said David Beavers, a DEA pilot for more than 20 years who retired rather than ship out. But it’s not quite like Afghanistan, where you can get your legs blown off by an (improvised explosive device).”
According to the report, gay, mouthy DEA agents are suing rather than go fight a populace who fights back.
“There are number of guys who say ‘I don’t want to go,’ but they suck it up and go,” one agent said. “What’s going to happen is somebody at some point is going to get killed.”

Yeah, because that’s never happened before.
