I have to tell you, I really appreciate after ten years and for CSTC-A, for the Pentagon to suggest that we should increase spending to $555 million per year and from 2014 to 2018, $2.8 billion they want to increase the funding and send the bulk of this directly to the Afghan Government with less control, less oversight, less accountability, it is absolutely stunning, the total lack of regard for the resources and the money the American people are spending.
