For military $400 per gallon of gas in Afghanistan
$400 per gallon gas to drive debate over cost of war in Afghanistan
The Pentagon pays an average of $400 to put a gallon of fuel into a combat vehicle or aircraft in Afghanistan.
The Pentagon comptroller’s office provided the fuel statistic to the committee staff when it was asked for a breakdown of why every 1,000 troops deployed to Afghanistan costs $1 billion.
All that comes to mind is: WTF?!?!
Someone is making mega-bucks. How much you want to bet it's Blackwater, Xi, or whatever they're called now? No wonder they lobby to continue the war!
