A fistful of dollars for dead Afghans

"“Apologies are not sufficient, so we do try to compensate families and communities where we’ve made mistakes. But that’s not sufficient either. In fact, there is nothing I could do or say that would replace the loss of a loved one,” the four-star general said. “There’s not enough money in the world to replace the loss of a family member.”" But he added that $20 per one dead Afghan is more than enough.
