We can take that to an extreme: <br> (from 2015) http://time.com/3651697/afghanistan-war-cost/

"...the CRS (Congressional Research Service) report says the cost of keeping a single American soldier there (Afghanistan) this year is an eye-watering $3.9 million..." <br> I don't think there's too many millionaires coming back from Afghanistan.
