Salaries for active duty troops are not included in the calculation, I'm not sure about the NG troops which should be included.
From the Military Times:
Quote:
After weeks of questions about the cost of the U.S. deployment of forces to the border, the Pentagon revealed late Tuesday that the barbed wire, transportation and housing for about 5,900 active-duty troops to date has cost $72 million.
To put it another way, that’s .01 percent of the Pentagon’s more than $700 billion budget, and roughly the price tag for one F/A-18E Super Hornet.
For critics, the $72 million represents an unnecessary expense for the military, which despite its higher 2019 defense budget, is still on an upward climb to heal readiness shortfalls and position itself for future wars. For others, the $72 million is a drop in the bucket compared with the daily operations costs for forces deployed in operations overseas.
The costs include the price to send troops home, Pentagon spokesman Army Col. Robert Manning said. Current orders have everyone home by Dec. 15, but that could change.
The total cost of the border mission will be an estimated $210 million under current plans, according to the Associated Press, which includes the 2,100 National Guard troops who have been performing a separate border mission since April. The $138 million figure for the Guard mission was included in a report sent to Congress obtained by the AP on Tuesday, but was not released by the Pentagon.
May not need them all since the Mexicans are rioting against all of the "intruders" into their towns.
We've basically got an invasion coming and the left is hollering that we are trying to stop it. What would you all say if we just said the hell with it and let them all in. Bet you it would cost more than keeping them out. It's a no-win situation but then it always is no matter the decision, people are stupid.
If they keep up the raping and pillaging going on in Tijuana the Mexicans may take care of them themselves.
I hope you are right. Simple solution.Quote:
