Ever wonder what we spend those billions of dollars in Afghanistan on? $34 million headquarters buildings apparently. I really wish this was an Onion or Duffleblog article, but it's not.
How does something like this happen? How does some jackass at the Pentagon decide that the Marines require a new headquarters building? How does the headquarters in Kabul not realize the Marines don't want the building?
There are some majors and lieutenant colonels at fault for this, I just know it. Of course this should have been caught by a general officer somewhere down the line. You'd think someone would have asked the question, "do the Marines even want this?"
Nope.
The crazy thing is that there is a new headquarters building here at NKAIA as well. Nobody is occupying it and no one seems to know who it is for. Would not shock me to learn if they decide to bulldoze it after a year.
Feels like a damn circus around here sometimes.
