Oh bHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanch!
This is great....we used to think that this is all an urban legend and it can't be.....but its true. Sounds like chars plants have an added military benefit too! it renders the Thermal imaging equipment useless! Yaar it sounds like these dudes stumbled upon some serious chars forests!...Now wait for tomorrow's news, when these guys will discover some serious 'poppy' prairies in southern Afghanistan near Helmand! Now they are getting a real taste of Aghanistan. This is hilarious. But joking aside, this is an easy and readily available source to fund more of these 'CIA jihads' across the region.
Canada troops battle 10-foot Afghan marijuana plants

OTTAWA, Canada (Reuters) -- Canadian troops fighting Taliban militants in Afghanistan have stumbled across an unexpected and potent enemy -- almost impenetrable forests of marijuana plants 10 feet tall.
General Rick Hillier, chief of the Canadian defense staff, said Thursday that Taliban fighters were using the forests as cover. In response, the crew of at least one armored car had camouflaged their vehicle with marijuana.
"The challenge is that marijuana plants absorb energy, heat very readily. It's very difficult to penetrate with thermal devices. ... And as a result you really have to be careful that the Taliban don't dodge in and out of those marijuana forests," he said in a speech in Ottawa, Canada.
"We tried burning them with white phosphorous -- it didn't work. We tried burning them with diesel -- it didn't work. The plants are so full of water right now ... that we simply couldn't burn them," he said.
Even successful incineration had its drawbacks.
"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," Hiller said dryly.
One soldier told him later: "Sir, three years ago before I joined the army, I never thought I'd say 'That damn marijuana'.
