$1 million for 1 soldier for 1 year in Afghanistan......
That's the figure Robert Greenwald gave Thom Hartmann for the cost of our "mission" over there.

Can you say "insanity"?

3. Does that include
the no-bid contracts? ex: Halliburton's $100 cost to taxpayers per load of laundry. Because at once a week that comes out to $52k a year per soldier.

5. They could have paid them 1/20th of the million and had them doing something useful.
Rather than wandering around in the mountains shooting up the countryside, killing people, and making nuisances of themselves.
