The heavy deaths focus around on the South, which is were "most of the people are" and across the border with Pakistan that is crossable. Some rather heavy spots, not anywhere close to the pipeline have had heavy deaths. Every Province (around 34) has a death other than 4. We aren't just around a pipeline or near poppies, we are in areas that can't support either.
And yes... I'm sure we are profiting from it, as we should be.
