With these computations, we can see how costly engaging in the Afghanistan war could be, not just for Houston but for the entire country. It's not just going to cost millions of money but the war is going to cost thousands of soldiers' lives and cause many to shed tears for the loss of their loved-ones. When will the American government ever realize that this war is not for us?
