Americans spent more than 143 billion tax dollars to rebuild Afghanistan as the U.S. war against Islamic extremist terrorists was waged for 20 years. Approximately 30% or $43 billion dollars of our money was lost to waste, fraud, or abuse. That information was unearthed by Inspector General John Sopko, whom we’ve interviewed frequently on Full Measure.
