Ridiculous. It's interesting that you can go state to state and see the cost for each.random - 8-11-2011 at 07:20 PM
Listen, assholes, we're in Iraq until we get rid of the WMDs and in Afghanistan until the Taliban is no longer in power.
Oh wait, both of those things happened... and at least one happened before we invaded Iraq.GavBE - 8-12-2011 at 06:12 AM
That's seriously depressing.
Who owns the companies that supply the military with clothes, food, supplies etc? Seriously question. They must be the richest people on the planet.BDx13 - 8-12-2011 at 10:41 AM
gav, here's one of my favorites: dick cheney was the ceo of halliburton from 1995 until he left to run as bush's vp in 2000. barc0debaby - 8-12-2011 at 11:29 AM
Cost of war during the last 10 years: 1.2 trillion dollars.
Republican budget plans proposed cuts during the next 10 years: 4 trillion.
Seems like the perfect place to start.
It is important to note that the figure given on the site does not include normal military spending. Aside from the 1.2 trillion allocated
specifically for these wars, there was another roughly 1 trillion dollars budgeted for defense related spending in 2012 alone, such as the Department
of Defense, FBI, Homeland Security, International Affairs (arming other militaries) and paying interest on debt occurred during previous wars.GavBE - 8-15-2011 at 05:45 PM
