The 3 Trillion is mind-boggling spending. Does the Pentagon know before
hand?. Does the president who authorized the 9/11 revenge war on
Afghanization knew what will the war cost be and for how
Wonder how US could spend 3 Trillion dollars on Afghan war without being
checked and monitored and audited?.
Isn't there an audited process by the audit people in the audit
department of the US finance department and auditor in the Pentagon of
the defense department to monitor the spending?.
Surely, when they have the 6 monthly audit report ready, they should
publish to the media for the people to know where and how far the
spending has spent to this day.
A 6-monthly audit report would help the presidential administration to
know when to stop spending, rather than wait till 20 years later to
publicize of it.
Also, There should be tenure of objective of reviews on how many years
they wish to enter and invade and change the regime of a country.
It should be something like a war footing objective plan for, let say, 1
or 2 years tenure, and by then, they should withdraw or retreat from it.
They should also include a plan of spending on it - like how much money
should be spent over the months for the deployment, etc.
In short, there should be no free wheeling spending but a allocation
that is priorlly approved for it before a deployment of it takes place.
And upon further review before end of 1 or 2 years later, they should
decide if they want to extend their stay for it. And if so, new budget
is to budget and the duration of stay should be stated so, too.
Though, what is said here sounds as a great way to say this and that,
but in reality, when comes to war, the military does not care about it
at all. Hence, as far the military is concerned, there is no budget for it.
