Afghanistan will not let our trucks carrying military equipment either in or out of the country unless we pay them $1,000 per truck. Furthermore, the Afghans hope to collect nearly $1 billion in business taxes and fines from U.S. contractors. They claim “It’s a compliance issue, and they’re not complying with our laws.”
As a result, we are flying out much more of our equipment than we had planned. Naturally, our costs of leaving the country will be higher than planned.

Must be their way of saying "thank you." We should pay their bill and then send them one of our own.
