Mark . . . destroying stuff in a forward combat zone b/c it's too costly to try to bring back is a whole different matter.
We spent 12 years building up in Afghanistan. Have you seen the amount and dollar value of stuff we're destroying there and leaving behind?
We did the same in Vietnam and WWII.
Getting our stuff out is just as expensive as getting our stuff in. The difference is that at the end of the war, at the draw down, the public isn't as willing to expend money from the Treasury for the withdrawl as they were when sentiments were high to go fight.
Either way, this report wasn't answering what we are leaving behind or destroying in place. There are reports detailing that if you want to go look for them.
This is about a ranking committee Chairman, a Senator, taking an audit he asked be conducted and twisting its findings for a complicit media to go have fun with.
