When I was in Louisiana, a soldier in the know said it costs $500 per month per unit to rent those portable light sets. You've seen them on highway construction projects. They are a trailer with a generator, and four big lights on a pole that can be raised. I stood outside my hootch here and counted over fifty. I estimate that we must have at least 100 of those things scattered around the FOB. $500 times 100 is $50,000 per month in light set rentals. I'm getting a better idea of where $1 Billion a month is going.
