Adding Afghanistan troops could cost $500,000 per person

IMportant back ground : rigth now the united state is in a on going war with the terrist cells in the a nation of Afghanistan. the united states is debating sending more troops ver in to the war zone to combat the clans and try to re oganize the structure of the country.

summray of the article: the united state says that it cost upwards of 500000 dollers to keep a single service menber over in the warzone the pebtagon estimates spending another 20 billion dollaars to send troops over currentlt there are 8000 marine and 480000 soldiers over in affganistan the genaral mycrsystal says most of the new troops would be used to rienforce kandahar provinces and to provide sooport against taliban in the north

response i dont have much of a oppion on the war partly becuase the media nowadays is not spending considral amounts of time covering the story on the war and troops. my feeling is more towards a conservitive amerika i belive we ajust pissing off the world more by trying to save the aganistans when it just seam like we think we are number one and that we need our noses in every thing
