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.
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.
