Perputual War is a Trillion Dollar Industry (so far)

Can someone please tell me what the HELL we're doing in Afghanistan? I truly do not know - can't even understand the reasons given.
We have now spent over 1 trillion dollars on Iraq and Afghanistan.
What does that mean exactly?
Well in part it means that we have redistributed wealth from the average taxpayer to the 'average' defense contractor. I mean the money goes somewhere - right?
Subtract payroll to the average military grunt and it's still hundreds of billions handed over to people and corporations making money off perpetual war.
Is that why we are still in Afghanistan?
