Resetting the Force Posted by Ilan Goldenberg

The GAO has a new report out that estimates that it will cost at least $190 billion over the next few years to restructure the Army.  Of this $118 billion is for equipment that has been lost or damaged in Iraq and Afghanistan (Mostly Iraq).   To put that in some perspective, we spend $10 billion a month in Iraq.  So this is the equivalent of another year's worth of spending, once the war is over.

And the US needs an army because . . .? Regarding Iraq, the war IS over. It's the resisted US military occupation that seems to be the problem, and that shows no signs of ever ending. Ditto Afghanistan.
