He hasn't lost anything. The military industry got a windfall, I believe they bumped the budget recently another 1/2 Trillion. Our bases suffered huge damage over there and we totally blew through our stockpiles. Also the oil industry got extra money and wholesale prices are still higher than in January. We lost money and America lost face around the world. I think that is a good thing as our nation has done nearly nonstop horrible things with our CIA and Army. But on the other hand we had done so much with the Peace Corps and other science and foreign aid efforts. I just hope this leads to a national reevaluation of our military spending levels.
