Are we going to include the cost of the shit the Army built for themselves? Like the 64,000-square foot army HQ that cost $25 million and was never used? What about the cost of research and development for new technology used, like their drone warfare? All those wonderful toys the military likes to bring out in public cost a shitton of money. While they managed to build almost no infrastructure for the Afghan citizens, they managed to build quite a bit for themselves, and a lot of it was never even necessary.
Never underestimate the ability of the U.S. Military to siphon off money for unnecessary shit. You can argue that shit like the 64,000-square foot building were examples of government officials stealing and not part of the official war effort, but the fact remains: it was still earmarked for use in the war effort and even if they were spent on shit useless to it, it was still spent as part of it.

Oh, it's way worse than you think. Check out this link: https://watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/costs/economic
And I don't believe the government ever includes the continued healthcare of wounded veterans in this cost. And this one: https://www.nationalpriorities.org/cost-of/
Why is it so?

In previous wars - casualty rates were approximately the same - but SURVIVAL rate has gone waaay up. This leads to a whole buncha permanently disabled vets WHO DESERVE EXCELLENT MEDICAL CARE..... and it' s not cheap.  RE: The United States has not spent $ 300 million a day on war in Afghanistan.

I don't really care what this clown thinks anyway. If you just step back from the wars of the last 20 years and look at the military budget published by the US Government, it hovers around $600 - 700 Billion each year. Just taking the average, since 2000 that sum comes to over $13 Trillion. And that's just what they include in the defense budget. A lot of spending gets categorized as other things to make it look less horrifying. No matter how you look at it; I could have bought a lot of tamales for that money and really, is the region any better today?

Imagine the cost of colonizing, developing and then waging war in north america so that..one day, there could be a us. Probably wasn't cheap either.
