It's obscene how much money we're spending on the Afghanistan War while millions of Americans are out of work. Case in point: We're spending about $3,000,000.00 a pop on rocket launcher systems.
Each HIMARS rocket launcher system costs $3,000,000.00. HIMARS systems were in the news earlier this year after U.S. forces killed more than a dozen civilians when a rocket landed in a compound in Marjah.
We can't afford to spend $3,000,000.00 per rocket launcher while millions of Americans are out of work and wondering where their next meal will come from. We need those resources at home, not wasted on a brutal, futile war in Afghanistan.
