Costs of the 20-year war on terror: $8 trillion and 900,000 deaths
/Thank you PNAC/Neocons - you have done wonders for the world. Great achievement. Bunch of genuine assholes who have helped destroy the world. Long live the military-industrial-congressional complex - fuck the people though. This is what our elected officials allow and perpetrate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military–industrial_complex.
Some details on PNAC/Neo-cons https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_for_the_New_American_Century
“The Pentagon and the U.S. military have now absorbed the great majority of the federal discretionary budget, and most people don’t know that…The cumulative cost of military intervention in the Iraq/Syria war zone has risen to $2.1 trillion since 9/11, and about $355 billion more has funded military presence in other countries, including Somalia and a handful of African countries.
And when the wars do end, the costs of war will continue to rise, the report notes: A towering $2.2 trillion of the estimated financial total accounts for future care that has already been set aside for military veterans, the researchers said, and the U.S. and other countries could pay the cost of environmental damage wrought by the wars for generations to come.”
