War Propaganda Stink

Doesn't this have propaganda stick all over it. Sounds like a teenager
making up reasons why they don't need to do something.
Pullout from Afghanistan to cost hundreds of millions of dollars
By Matthew Fisher, Canwest News ServiceDecember 14, 2009
KANDAHAR AIRFIELD, Afghanistan When Canadian Forces quit Afghanistan in
July 2011, at least $2 billion of gear must be brought home, and
hundreds of millions of dollars of infrastructure at Kandahar Airfield
and at forward operating bases must be torn down, sold or donated to
allies or to Afghans.
Although nobody will yet hazard a guess about what the pullout from
Kandahar will cost, getting everything back to Canada will cost many
hundreds of millions of dollars. That figure does not include the wages,
expenses and transport costs for a dedicated force of about 500 soldiers
who will work all-out for up to one year to complete the job.
Canada does not possess nearly enough military airlift for an operation
on this scale, so hundreds of flights by outsized Russian and Ukrainian
cargo jets will have to be chartered at a cost of as much as $1.5
million per trip. Those aircraft will take home 1,072 vehicles and
dozens of helicopters and other very large or dangerous items such as
artillery guns.
etc blah blah...
What they don't tell you is staying will cost a whole lot more.

We should turn the keys over to the Afghans and bug out.
Take our people with their weapons and papers and WRITE OFF THE REST.
We should also take the locals who have helped us. They'll be
toast when we go.
