2. It is easy. It cost 1 Million per Troop for 1 year in Iraq
For 1 Million we could have smaller class sizes and more teachers. Our tax dollars could fund more counselors and psychologists. We could increase the pay of social workers to help heal society issues.

We could increase drug treatment programs. We could have nannies for for new parents like they do in France.

We could rebuild our infrastructure. We could retrofit homes with energy saving means.


There would be more than enough jobs for them if we brought the money home with them and cut the pentagon in 1/2. If you look at the DOD budget you will see all the toys we could cut out.
