A kid from Arkansas doing his patriotic dutyto defend his country? I see a helmet, fire-retardant gloves, body armor, and an M16. I see $17,500. That's what it costs to outfitone American soldier. Over two million soldiers fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. It cost the American taxpayer$4.5 billion each year just to pay the air conditioning bills for those wars. And that's what war is really about. War is an economy. Anybody who tells you otherwise is either in on it or stupid
