I'm not opining on the morality of it, just saying that the idea that the money disappeared or was put in a pile and burnt is obviously silly.

- mythrwy 8y agoExcept some of it _literally_ went up in flames. Have you seen the footage of bombing of ISIS cash dump with US currency flying out? Guess the pallets of dollars going over there for reconstruction was the source. It's a waste. Waste of spending, waste of effort, waste of resources. The human effort and material spent on that endeavor could have done a lot for this country. Also morality aside, if we are empire, if we are going to police the world, we are doing so in a very unsustainable fashion. This is just what I can't help but see. Maybe I'm wrong. Not really trying to argue but damn, this a big elephant of wasteful effort and resource allocation.
