I said 120 soldiers for 1 year.
It costs 1 million a piece per soldier per year, thus 120 million.

No its more like $2 million a piece (2013, Afghanistan) when you include injuries.
So its like 60 soldiers in Iraq for 1 year, assuming injuries.

This one says 850,000 - the point this is: even adjusting for inflation and wasteful spending (as per the recently released pentagon papers, which is what I'm basing this off) - the cost of war simply keeps increasing, despite any logical "predictions".

I had no idea at how much the wars cost per soldier.
I agree with you. Whatever it costs, its too damn high!
