Try to wrapper your mind around this story. America, the country with the most advanced military human refinement has ever seen, noticed that the Taliban is strongest in parts of Afghanistan that have no mobile earphone reporting. No access to exterior selective information = terrorist propaganda run wild. The solvent? Build a mobile meshwork.

That’s right. After disbursement an obscene amount of money to bomb the red cent out that little country, we’re now not only rebuilding their schools, hospitals, and homes, but we’re also gift the citizenry a mobile earphone meshwork they can be proud of. Admiral Gregory Smith, Director of Communication, Strategic Communication Directorate International Security Assistance Force, and United States Forces Islamic State of Afghanistan, is pouring about $150 1000000 into the new mobile network during 2010. The U.S. Department of State Department is also throwing in $113 million this year. That’s $263 1000000. Just to give you an idea of how that compares to AT&T, they spent roughly $5 billion [PDF] during 2009 on their wireless meshwork.

Population United States Army: 307 1000000, and $5 billion spend on radio = ~ $16.30 spent per person.

Population Afghanistan: 29 1000000, and $263 million spend on wireless = ~ $9.00 spent per mortal.

Here’s hoping that the citizenry of Islamic State of Afghanistan don’t use their new mobile meshwork, paid for by American tax payers, to breaker 4chan all day and download as much pornography as possible. That or they’ll all remainder up on Facebook and it’ll be superintendent easy to pinch terrorists who update their condition to “about to puff up topical anaesthetic cafй”.
