$600 per gallon fuel seems a bit pricey to me...

snip...

Though the military buys fuel at a wholesale price of 84¢ a gallon, after all the expenses of getting it to the front lines are added in, the final cost is about $150 a gallon. That's a steal compared to Afghanistan, where fuel is helicoptered in, pushing the cost to $600/gallon. Rummy's "lightness" is of the sort that only a $10 trillion economy can afford.

2. Hummer owner should pay that price everytime they fill up....

If you want to drive a tank, you should pay the appropriate price for gas.

3. Does the US have the most powerful military in the world?

...or simply the most wasteful and expensive?


(or both?)
