I can guarantee 80% of that went straight back into the pockets of the American Defense industry. Even the so called nation building efforts. I know some guys I worked with who were contracting in Afghanistan after they left the military. They contracted with defense companies to install computer networks there got paid $100 an hour tax free. All of that was tax payer funded he said they wasted so much money everything cost 10 times as much inflated prices. Lets say he needed a screw driver that cost $10 here after the defense company or one of their subsidiaries would mark the tool up 10 times it cost $100.
This was nothing more then a scam on the American taxpayer just like that scene in the movie Goodfellas when they burn the restaurant down after the gangsters ran the credit out of the place.
You think that number is mind boggling? Take a look at the amount of money & benefits paid out to individuals in America who've never paid into the system and don't have any intentions of ever paying into the system. What this current "administration" has been trying to do is what the American Government was designed to prevent, a one sided takeover.
Oh, dare to dream, AguaDulce. Whatabout-the-border is the go-to response, whatever the problem.
Strangely enough, these posts often include some reference to critical thinking, low I.Q.s., etc.
Non sequitur comes to mind as well as the words of my Aunt Teresa, "Never trust a man who tells you he's a good Christian, or a great lover. You'll always be disappointed."
Yea, dare to dream, about someone answering a question because of a single mispelled word. And saying "critical thinking" does not mean they are low IQ, they just don't have the ability to critically think.
Your not winning in Afghanistan. Russian didn’t. A superpower. So who ever believed we would?? Waste of trillions of treasure, and 1000’s of lives. For what?? Generals gathered in their masses, Just like witches in black masses.

Tomorrow's remembrance of our dead in the 9/11 attack will be the worse yet. 20 years ago the US started the war on terror and vowed to get rid of terrorists. Today, Biden handed Afghanistan back to the terrorists we came to fight. Biden made it easy for terrorists to murder 13 American troops just days before the 9/11 anniversary. Biden's willingness to partner with the Taliban, the terrorists behind major attacks that killed Americans, is a slap in the face of the families of the terror victims and of the nation.
