One way to keep a war going

In addition to paying for your own troops and those of the alleged government you are propping up, pay your opponent to keep him in the fight.
After examining hundreds of combat support and reconstruction contracts in Afghanistan, the U.S military estimates $360 million in U.S. tax dollars has ended up in the hands of people the American-led coalition has spent nearly a decade battling: the Taliban, criminals, and power brokers with ties to both.
No wonder we have been fighting this shitty little war fort 10 years.
