That’s $7.3 million from the pocket of the US taxpayer to build a brand new ghost town on the Afghanistan frontier.
Some contractor built that facility. Our military no doubt guarded it while it was being built. That additional cost is probably not even factored into the $7.3 MM. Yet the base now sits empty.
I sure hope none of our soldiers died or were maimed while guarding the construction.
In a recent post we noted that more foreign aid flows into Afghanistan than any other country. Part of that aid appears to be going to build “ghost bases.” Sadly the rest of it probably goes to even worse causes.
Afghanistan has worked out for us about as well as it worked out for the Greeks, Brits, and Soviets. Time to get gone.
