Financial Costs of War

The costs of war go far beyond the financial costs to US taxpayers. The costs to other countries financially is not readily obtainable, but of course the main costs are in human life of combatants and civilians. The maiming of people physically and psychologically goes on generation after generation.

	Ongoing military operations in Iraq: $3.9 billion per month (Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld July 9, 2003)
	Ongoing military operations in Afghanistan: $1 billion per month (USA Today Sept 8, 2003)
