Hundreds of millions of those could be labeled a silly expense, a new report from the Inspector General for Reconstruction in Afghanistan shows. For example, the money was spent on an aircraft fleet that was sold for scrap after a year or on military uniforms that stood out instead of camouflaged, and on the construction of a megalomaniac hotel that is in dilapidation.
