As is we weren't already wasting enough resources on Afghanistan, now this:
Sixteen military transport planes bought by the United States government for the Afghan Air Force (AAF) at a cost of nearly $500 million were recently destroyed by the Afghan military and sold for scrap parts at around six cents per pound, prompting a government inquiry to determine why millions of taxpayer dollars were wasted on the ill-fated program.

By the way, that wasn't the worst deal the military ever made. Recently they sold a $2 billion aircraft carrier for 1 cent:
