US paid close to $50,000 per shooting spree death, American official says

Excerpt: "The United States paid close to $50,000 in compensation for each Afghan killed in the shooting spree attributed to a U.S. soldier in southern Afghanistan, a U.S. official told NBC News on Sunday.

The official, who asked not to be named, would not say exactly how much was paid to the families, but added the amount was "significant" and "substantial."

"The amount reflects the extraordinarily devastating nature of the incident," he said.

Average annual income in Afghanistan is $425, according to the BBC..."

They're not paying us for who they kill and they couldn't afford it if they tried.

At $50,000 a head, how much would it cost us to kill the whole country? Maybe we can get a deal going. Ninja
