During the past 6 years, Afghanistan has been funded at a small fraction of the amount we have spent in Iraq, with the US spending $10billion per month in Iraq and $2 billion in Afghanistan in a typical month. However, it is likely that we will be encouraged to (a) increase US troop levels; (b) fund a significant increase in Afghan's own security forces; and (c) provide military aid to Afghanistan for many years to come. Michael O'Hanlon at Brookings said: "It's a reasonable guess that for 20 years, we essentially will have to fund half the Afghan budget. We are creating a [long-term military aid] situation similar to the ones we have with Israel, Egypt and Jordan".
