How did the US cut costs on the Afghan war?

According to estimates, it has cost the US roughly $300.000.000 every day to keep the war going in Afghanistan.

source: The United States has spent an estimated $2,261,000,000,000, or more than $2 trillion, on the war effort

More than 3 Billion is to be paid over the next 20 years for veterans and families.

Who gained on this besides the oil companies and Pentagon weapons partners ?

Opioid overdoses accounted for more than 42,000 deaths in 2016, more than any previous year on record. An estimated 40% of opioid overdose deaths involved a prescription opioid.

As a country, the US must be having a headache the size of Jupiter, painkiller wise?

Is there is any relation between opiod production in Afghanistan and the US.

Isn't it great, having one of the people most heavily involved in getting more opioids to the US market and approved for kids as young as 11 as our current FDA head?

US military saving money?
What a joke.

The ammo alone they just gift wrapped for the supposed enemy probably cost more than I'll earn in a life time.
What's it cost to fence around a base?

Did they leave the keys in the doors, or just leave them wide open?

Fun News exercise : An awful lot after Barry done his cut and run in Iraq . The Taliban were even moving the sand from the US fighter jets that they buried in the sand ...
Coming to an Afghan park soon.

Was skipping the evacuation some kind of cost cutting effort?

As good an explanation as any I guess.



But wouldn't it still have been cheaper to just leave by May?
