obviously, a non-solution from a demented mind that has never lived
with Kudzu ....

a. kudzu don't grow well in swamps, where the skeeters infest.

b. you don't exactly 'chop' kudzu ... you kinda more like drag it out.
it's a loooooooooooong vine type plant. like centipede grass, but with
a really bad attitude. bamboo and wisteria don't hold a candle to
kudzu.

c. not even the chain gang work parties from the prisons of the 1950's
made so much as a dent in the kudzu 'problem'. a few lousy terrorists
would simple disappear beneath the leafy stuff, never to be seen
again.

more humane to just shoot 'em.
