I think if you s...It's $TRILLIONS$ of Dollars.<br /><br />I think if you stacked them on top of each other they'd reach Saturn or something insane like that. As for the troops yeah we brought them home at least. Back in the ancient times they were left where ever they were. It was up to them to get home.<br /><br />This is where all them Hercules sort of movies of the 1950's came from. Ya know a bunch'a guy with swords trying to get the hell out of wherever the hell they were.<br /><br />These days we bring'em home. Once for labor, but now to fill the for profit prisons. Still your point about all them young men trained in the art, and skills of asymmetrical warfare,....hummmm.

Leaving thousands of these energetic battle-hardened young folks hanging around at loose ends without a means of support and nothing much to do is, like, sooooo smart a thing for our government to be doing. But at least they're not ditching them there, which wouldn't have astonished me either. <br /><br />Since the Taliban will probably be taking over all Afghanistan again in fairly short order, it's not clear to me exactly what it is we've accomplished after who knows how many billion dollars and thousands of lives. And the place doesn't even have oil. Boy are we smart! We're just so awesome it blows me away. <br /><br />Z<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
