What if I told you that for decades a significant portion of your tax dollars have been used to aid and support criminals, warlords, and child molesters as they perpetrated atrocities against their victims?

This may sound like a fringe conspiracy theory but, in fact, these are the types of people whom your tax dollars have been supporting for decades in the government and security forces in Afghanistan. Conservatively, the costs in dollars of the Afghanistan War since 2001 amounts to about $2.3 trillion (approximately $300 million per day for the last 20 years).
