Tab for bringing gear home from Afghanistan: $3 billion --- WASHINGTON — A year from now, the Pentagon plans to have shipped home, sold or scrapped virtually every weapon, truck and rucksack it has sent to fight the war in Afghanistan. --- It's an enormous task. About 1.5 million pieces of equipment ranging from armored trucks and ammunition to radios and rifles remain for the war that started in 2001. The job is complicated by Afghanistan's rough roads and lack of a seaport. Shipping stuff home will total $3 billion. - usatoday
