So I was talking to a friend today about this weekend's convention, and we got started talking about the War. Here's some math that I did that you can use when you talk to people to open their eyes a little:
Cost Per Day:
$720,000,000
That's 7,200,000 in $100 bills. If you weighed out that many bills, it would come to 7.91 TONS. If you stacked them up, it would measure 2,580 feet high. (For a point of reference, if you stacked the twin towers on top of eachother, they would measure 2,730 feet high)
And we spend this every single day that we are over there.
