More waste in Afghanistan

The Pentagon spent nearly $65 million on buying and equipping a single plane to combat drug activity in Afghanistan. The plane has never been used. They couldn't even sell it at auction.This is not something new. In 2014, after spending $486 million on 20 planes for the Afghan Air Force — which, yes, were never able to fly — the Pentagon sold most of them as scrap metal for a whopping 6 cents a pound. The total sale was $32,000. ProPublica claims that as of 2015 there were at least $17 billion worth of such projects.
