Title couldn’t says it all.

“Perhaps, one can hope, that outrage will swell over time, as more Americans come to learn of what exactly transpired—and how much of their treasure was squandered.”

If we didn't learn it in Vietnam we won't in Afghanistan.

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“These “ghost" personnel would be non-existent or previously registered names, no longer active members of either the military or the police.”

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
