Since the U.S. spent over 500 X that amount ($500 Billion) re-building roads, bridges, utilities, schools and buildings in Afghanistan that were immediately destroyed before we even finished building them (or were never occupied or used), then I'm not going to quibble about spending $1 Billion on an embassy that meets the same fate. :>(

This was all a big money making machine for the Deep State. No-Bid contracts, no oversight, $Billions payed in Afghan employee payrolls (likely 1/2 of them fake) with barely any proof even required about where American taxpayer money was spent in Afghanistan... and our own corrupt Deep State Department running the entire show.

Let the State Department lose that embassy. As far as I'm concerned, they can now operate out of a large cardboard box on a street corner in Kabul from now on.
