No way it cost that much. Most of the money went to kickbacks to Obama’s cronies.
Unfortunately that’s what most of the Iraq and Afghanistan invasions have been good for since the beginning...graft.
graft? hardly, just a little wealth transfer, 0’s specialty
Money well spent c8mpared to flying Hussein and the 1st Wookie around.
Did Halliburton ever jack up costs by 990 percent?
the last administration did a pretty good job of making billions disappear too.
Trump would have demanded much more accountability,.
ABC covering government waste? Only in the DoD.
Crony capitalism; follow the money.
A colossal overpayment, no doubt done intentionally to line the pockets of lobbyists, middleman, and various government workers. Of course no one will get fired or otherwise brakechecked for it. Where is that young journalist who exposed ACORN as a fraudulent operation? He teamed up with a girl who pretended to be a hooker.
I hope he gets into this story.
$43.5 million? After all, bribes and kickbacks do add up.
I seem to remember close to sixty years ago, a president warning us of something called the “Military-Industrial Complex”. I cannot help be think maybe he was right.
the last administration did a pretty good job of making billions disappear too.

Right on both points.
Bribes, kickbacks and corruption. Our liberal elite government at work... at crime... whatever...
i wouldn't doubt that one bit. I think just about all of Congress and the SC has been bought, blackmailed or both amd the money to do it comes from milking the taxpayer somewhere along the line. The One hasit down to a T.
The whole Iraq and Afghanistan War has cost us around 4 trillion. That is the sin not the 43 million. So much wasted money spent on these two wars from both administration. Remember just handing out money to the people of both countries.....borrowed money by the way.
DOD cannot explain why the Gas Station cost so much. Really, is the DOD that stupid? Duh, the DOD is run by incompetent idiots whom employ imbeciles whom cannot count and cannot read. They must have been educated at Harvard (cannot do math) and MIT (cannot read). What a shining example they have in Barack Hussein Obama!
“What difference does it make”. The Taliban will blow it up anyway.
Hey, don’t forget the unused $14.7 million DLA warehouse & the unused $25 million Marine HQ in Helmand province.
