224,000 people have died directly from warfare and 7.8 million people have been displaced
NEW YORK — When President Barack Obama cited cost as a reason to bring troops home from Afghanistan, he referred to a $1 trillion price tag for America's wars.
The final bill will reach at least $3.7 trillion and could be as high as $4.4 trillion, according to the research project "Costs of War" by Brown University's Watson Institute for International Studies.

That is why we are broke.
Drew that is why we are free. It's the welfare freeloaders and the welfare/food stamps we give to illegals why we are broke.
1:48 idiot. SS, medicade, and medicare, along with defense are by far the biggest drivers of national debt. Food stamps and other welfare programs pale in comparison.
We were in one war when Bush left office, now we're in four

We have murdered a LOT more than 224,000 people. I'm pretty sure of that.
War is profit. Too bad for those of you who have young kids joining up to kill some Muslems, because they are cannon fodder for the elite's profiteering.
And THAT is why our Flag is filthy and rotten to the core. This ain't America any more.
