For almost two decades, the U.S. military has siphoned much blood, sweat, and tears into fighting the insurgencies littering Afghanistan.
In the coming weeks, the Pentagon plans to accelerate the troop drawdown from 4,500 to 2,500 under orders from President Trump – leaving behind a bleak picture of a struggling country beleaguered by nearly daily attacks, bullet-pockmarked buildings and an ailing economy.
Throughout the years of the Afghan war effort, American taxpayers have footed the bill – on average about $3,000 each – with a comprehensive price tag succeeding $1 trillion. Roughly $138 billion in taxpayer dollars alone have been disseminated for Afghan relief and reconstruction.
