i just googled the "cost of afghanistan war" and this turned up:
$815.7 billion
The Defense Department's latest 2020 report said war-fighting costs totaled $815.7 billion over the years. That covers the operating costs of the U.S. military in Afghanistan, everything from fuel and food to Humvees, weapons and ammunition, from tanks and armored vehicles to aircraft carriers and airstrikes.
and there is nothing to show for it as far as i can see.
in fact the big bad taliban is about to take charge again
over there
the only achievement is 20 years of killing of mostly
innocent women and children with a few bad guys in
between.
i remember my dad's 'revolutionary' friends predicting back in 2003
after the usa brings 'democracy' to afghanistan(and iraq) the
domino effect will take over and iran will inevitably become a 'western'
satellite state and have 'democracy'.
toady i can claim they were completely wrong
