Do you think the price per ounce will eventually be reduced through competition?

How long does an ounce last the average person?

Also Sativa or Indica?

Hi colonel thanks for the AmA. Did you agree with Eric shinseki when he said several hundred thousand troops would be needed in a post war iraq? If I remember correctly he was basically laughed at then forced into retirement by administration officials. Then later on, after the mass fiasco that became the iraq war and looting began those same officials (I assume to include yourself) were forced to admit that they were wrong.

Here is an excerpt from wiki. "Shinseki publicly clashed with Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeldduring the planning of the war in Iraqover how many troops the United States would need to keep in Iraq for the postwar occupation of that country. As Army Chief of Staff, General Shinseki testified to the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committeethat "something in the order of several hundred thousand soldiers" would probably be required for postwar Iraq. This was an estimate far higher than the figure being proposed by Secretary Rumsfeld in his invasion plan, and it was rejected in strong language by both Rumsfeld and hisDeputy Secretary of Defense, Paul Wolfowitz, who was another chief planner of the invasion and occupation.[11] From then on, Shinseki's influence on the Joint Chiefs of Staff reportedly waned.[12]Critics of the Bush Administration alleged that Shinseki was forced into early retirement as Army Chief of staff because of his comments on troop levels; however, his retirement was actually announced nearly a year before those comments.[13]When the insurgency took hold in postwar Iraq, Shinseki's comments and their public rejection by the civilian leadership were often cited by those who felt the Bush administration deployed too few troops to Iraq.[14] On November 15, 2006, in testimony before Congress, CENTCOMCommander Gen. John Abizaid said that General Shinseki had been correct that more troops were needed."

How does it feel knowing that because of not listening to expert military commander Eric shinseki on troop levels in the first place, hundreds of men and women in uniform are no longer here?

Also how much money do you make during your retirement?

Do you ever think about the young ones who are no longer here on earth to enjoy all the comforts you now enjoy during retirement?

I hope you are warm and cozy and enjoying your life. Thanks for this AmA.
