The Cost of War
Posted in Travis Sharp, military policy analyst at the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation and author of the blog Iraq Insider, discusses the monetary cost of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. The war in Iraq has now topped $700 billion, Travis explains, and has become the second costliest conflict in U.S. history — second only to WWII. Furthermore, the war is being funded primarily by supplemental bills and has not been subject to the same congressional scrutiny applied to the regular defense budget. Travis provides interesting facts and commentary on what we have spent on the “war on terror.”
