How many brownies in Iraq and Afghanistan can we kill with that money?
I think that will pay up until about lunch, or perhaps only 2nd breakfast.

That would pay for about 59 days, almost three months. That doesn't count the cost for the men that will need life time care because of broken bodies. Of course they will be screwed like all veterans.

That is only $64 Billion USD a year, I thought it was closer to $100 Billion USD. Hell we can stay another couple of years at that price.
