The United States has not spent $ 300 million a day on war in Afghanistan.

USA said that it had spent 2T$ since 2001 for Afghanistan war.
This is a big lie.
Some US government officials have been stealing under the pretext of war for the past 20 years.
If the United States had fought World War III with Russia, China, and Europe, it would not have cost so much.
Let's do a thumb account. An approximate calculation.
**********************************************************************************
80000 soldier salary per month: 5000$ (i heard 2500$ is true).
80000*12*20*5000= 96,000,000,000
20000 officer and professional soldier like pilots and commanders: 20000 per month salary:
20000*12*20*20000= 96,000,000,000
I will continue calculating.

And who are you and why should we be interested in your information?

4 meals for 100,000 army personnel 4$ per meal
100000*365*4*4*20= 11,680,000,000

30,000 vehicles, 30 liters of gasoline per day, $ 1 per liter:
30000*365*20*30*1= 197,000,000,000
I do not think USA had 30000 vehicles in Afghanistan. I think USA paid about 40 billion $ for gasoline.

10,000,000 Bomb and Explosive bullets and mortars  for exam(  mk82 each 2500$ )
10000000*2500 = 25,000,000,000

Is there a purpose to this that the forum members might want to be aware of?

Yes, I think you better had, since you’re already off by a factor of 10 - it’s 800 000 servicemen and women, not 80 000.

Don’t forget to factor in food/clothing/medical/training, etc for all those troops. Plus equipment (and upkeep for same), transport, coffins…oh, just all kinds of stuff.

The US could easily spend $2 trillion on a twenty year war, even without theft.

Hi
A total of 700,000 troops have served in Afghanistan over the past 20 years.
This means, for example, that every soldier has served in Afghanistan for one or two years.
I estimate that there has always been an average of 100,000 staff in Afghanistan.

And in what do you base these estimates?

I calculate maximum USA paid 550 billion $ for Afghanistan war that 200 Billion was gazoline of vehicles.


I exaggerated everything. That is, I have multiplied everything.


Most of the cost of the war in Afghanistan has been paid to the American people and capitalists, and has led to American economic prosperity.
It is not like wars between Middle Eastern countries where war causes money to leave the country.

A few posts ago, you said the US paid $40 billion for gasoline, now it’s $200 billion. Are you just making this up as you go along?

I think wars give hundreds of American politicians a chance to steal money and become billionaires.
