2 weeks of meal for every school kid in the US!

Can you imagine the scale of this number?

3 days of war vs 2 week of meal for every school kid

Now do the math for Afghan war, probably US could have easily cancelled 70% of loan for every college grad, or could've been built large rail network

The Sentinel ICBM project (already at 2x initial budget, and set to balloon further) will be the most expensive project since the interstate freeway system was built.

So, an all-city high-speed rail network would certainly be achievable for a small fraction of the total US military budget.
