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

[Rev. Rye]

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.
