The cost of the war in Afghanistan was over $2 trillion, nearly $300 million a day. Here’s how that money was spent. RELATED:
WASHINGTON – The U.S. government has never provided a full accounting of the costs of America’s so-called “forever wars” in Afghanistan and Iraq.
But researchers at Brown University estimate that the U.S. has spent $5.8 trillion on the war in Afghanistan and other conflicts stemming from the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. That includes direct and indirect spending on everything from military equipment to homeland security to death gratuities for the families of slain American service members.

Republicans crying because we’re not making them money with bomb ect
put politics aside and remember that 2,378 United States servicemen have perished
80 percent of the money spent during the Bush administration. 20percent in the next twelve years. The world didn’t have another theocratic government for those twenty years.

@Mr. Smith unforeseen Democrats don’t care about the soldiers
Republicans are all in the pockets of the super rich.
If only all that money waisted by the Americans in Afghanistan could have been spent on future proofing global warming!
