Afghanistan and the great project of "nation building" at cost to taxpayers

How strange isn't it, that billions of dollars are spent on ungrateful Muslims abroad while Americans in poor areas of the USA are neglected?  Just look at Detroit, look at the slums of Illinois, look at Buffalo, look at any of the thousands of areas with a concentration of the poor communities all over the United States of America.  How disgusting to parade around the world in outward silken finery when your underwear is stinking worse than a barrel of rotting fish.

Because of the continuing lack of accountability, $13 billion that the Defense Department plans to provide Afghan security forces between fiscal years 2015 and 2019 “may be subject to wasteful spending and abuse,” it warned.........
