Military vs civilian spending in Afghanistan

There is an urgent need to balance the aid funds with the military budgets. A conservative assessment shows that aid money coming to the country is less than 10% of the military spending by the troops contributing nations.

An earlier assessment had noted that the amount spent by the US military alone in Afghanistan-$100 million every day- is ludicrous compared to the amount provided by international donors for reconstruction and development-a meager $7 million per day.
