Trillions? Wait, are we supposed to be counting things like the salaries of the troops? The cost to feed, clothe, and care for them? The logistical costs?
Okay, then we're into TRILLIONS. Same ballpark. Same sport.
Did you think before you wrote that? This is why I laugh, dude: what did you think all that trillions was being spent on? How much do you think a bullet costs? Whether you're on a find-fix-finish mission or you're building a bridge, 99% of the costs are exactly the same, being used for exactly the same thing. How much do you think it costs to send 100,000 people to the Middle East, build forward operating base for them, and provide for their room and board there? Whether the people there are killing people or training police or constructing schools, that's TRILLIONS of dollars over the course of a decade, regardless.
Jesus, you failed hard. Seriously, where do you think those TRILLIONS goes? How much do you think it costs to buy tens of thousands of port-a-johns and get a servicing contract for them? Would NATO soldiers not need them if they were rebuilding things? How much do you think it costs for tens of thousands of industrial air conditioning units? lol and you counted all of that for blowing people up but not for rebuilding. Hmmm...now you see why I just laugh most of the time.
If we're including all those things for both, it's TRILLIONS. Same ballpark. Same sport. Educate yourself, this is disgusting.
