The DOD says it Costs $1 Million a Year to Depoly a GI

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!, If you let the GI buy his own Equipment, and stuff, (Who Doesn't already) Live off Care Packages from Home,
Buy Ammo from Cheaper Than Dirt or another Dealer, Uniforms from BDU.Com,
Then Turn in a Bill after the Year, They take away your BAQ and Ration pay,

Pay the GI the rest. I bet they would be getting some \"BIG $$$$$$ Checks.

I even heard they say it cost $1000 a Gallon to get Gas to our Forces in Afgannyland.

Someone is F-ING the Donkey here??? Give me a Rubber Hose, I can Steal Gas for half that from the Bad Guys or Just Take it.
They have Gas Stations and a Airport.

Let the GI's go on their on and take out the Poppy Traders, and take the Loot and Gas.

So they're ways to make it Cheaper and help the GI out.

I don't remember the exact amount that the contractors were getting paid to do our laundry bags (the only way to have laundry done over there now), but no exaggeration, it would have been cheaper for the AF to buy us new clothing each time rather than have it washed.

We had Washers and Dryers later on and \"Haji\" Laundry service, All washed must of been with Dirty water and Rocks as stiff as it came back.
12 pairs of Socks, 3 T-shirts and Under wear, I had the Ex send me new each Month, Socks didn't last more than 2 weeks. They gave us Uniforms 3 sets of Woodland over there \"Winter Weight\" and the 3 \"Desert Sets \" .
We didn't pay for.
