NewMax.com: U.S. Wars Leave 225,000 Dead, Cost $4.4 Trillion: Study
U.S. wars launched since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, have left 225,000 dead and cost up to $4.4 trillion, according to a new study by university researchers.
The study published by Brown University this week focused on the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and counter-terrorism campaigns in Pakistan and Yemen, which came in the wake of the 9/11 attacks on the United States.
The authors argued that governments almost always go to war underestimating the potential duration and costs of a conflict while overestimating “the political objectives that can be accomplished by the use of brute force.”
These are staggering numbers and with the results that we have gotten, it really does bring into question whether or not war is the answer to any question.
