That's alot of payout for "nothing accomplished".
Remember always the military's primary goal is to stay "The military".
With no active military engagements, promotions come slow, technology advances slow, and funding screeches to a halt.

1) You are implying that there is no democracy on this issue then. America wants their soldiers back, but government will not do so because it fucks up their economy.
2) All the money used to fund the war could be used to ummm I don't know, create jobs? Put people to produce instead of killing? I don't know, Im just saying there is already a lot of payout for "nothing accomplished" in this war, why don't we change directions and put that money to good use?
Saying we can't stop the war because its not cost effective is naive.
But what do i know?
