"More than $300 million a year was spent paying salaries to non-existent personnel in the Afghan security forces ."

“These “ghost" personnel would be non-existent or previously registered names, no longer active members of either the military or the police.”

~ US Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR)

The defense contractors. The weapons manufacturers. The whole supply chain for the occupation. The corporations who rebuilt Afghanistan etc. War is good for businesses and creates a lot of business. That's why we have wars
