Sounds about right. What's amazing is that with all that and 9 yrs of war we still have not found bin Laden, and its possible Mullah Omar will come back into a leadership position as the Taliban is negotiated and compromised with upon our inevitable departure.
Anymore I think all our military spending is good for are jobs programs, pork spending for Congressmen and JO material for gun nuts. We sure as hell don't seem to use it to actually win any wars we get ourselves involved in.
Thousands of lives lost or decimated by injury, trillion$ spent, and not a whole hell of a lot to show for it.
