Isn’t cheaper to have 150,000 demoblized troops on unempoyment in the US than keeping them in Afghanistan a nation that has not been conquered since Alexander the Great.

It would be far cheaper to bring them home. Just supplying air conditioning to our Iraq and Afghanistan trrops is costing $20 billion a year. Shipping fuel to them is outrageously expensive. By the time it gets to them, it is about $200-$300 a barrel.

Sending them home and sitting in their home bases doing nothing would be vastly less expensive.

Truth.

I can’t see why continually keeping a military capable of beating every other military combined on THEIR home turf makes sense.

I guess it does if one believes in big government.
