When you look at a big number it is meaningless until it is made real. Not just in terms of lives lost or damaged (soldiers and civilians), but also to future generations in squandered finances. $1 million per day to keep a single soldier in Afghanistan? Is that necessary? Even if it is less, what is the REAL cost. Food, fuel, ammunition, medical supplies, all sent to remote locations. Infrastructure built and left behind without receiving anything in return for it.
These fake wars of Bush and his fellow RIPublicans will cost us more than just conducting them. We will be paying for them for decades after we withdraw.
