My nephew just got back from 2 tours in Afganistan with USMC. He said that the Taliban's "gear" of choice is the classic "speed ball". the have their own propriotory blend of local grown horse with imported Cocaine. he said you have to blow 'em apart with a Barrett 50 cal to kill 'em when they're high.
I asked him who were the baddest Mo Fos over there with us. He sais the Brits are tough as hell and on par with us but the friggin Aussies are ruthless mother fuckers!!! He said when shit hits the fan the GD Aussies get a "boner" and almost start drooling.
