Killing Each Taliban Soldier Costs $50 Million
Killing 20 Taliban costs $1 Billion / Killing all the Taliban would cost $1.7 Trillion
- The Pentagon will not tell the
public what it costs to locate, target and kill a single Taliban soldier
because the price-tag is so scandalously high that it makes the Taliban

cost to kill each Taliban is as high as $100 million, with a
conservative estimate being $50 million. A public discussion should be
taking place in the United States regarding whether the Taliban have
become too expensive an enemy to defeat.Each
month the Pentagon generates a ream of dubious statistics designed to
create the illusion of progress in Afghanistan. In response this author
decided to compile his own statistics. As the goal of any war is to kill

just one of the enemy. The obstacles encountered in generating such a
statistic are formidable. The problem is that the Pentagon continues to
illegally classify all negative war news and embarrassing information.
Regardless, some information has been collected from independent
sources. Here is what we know in summary and round numbers:
The military is right there sucking on the WELFARE TIT just like those in the projects....
