If we consider that approximately our government spends more than $30 billion annually on direct disability payments to Vietnam War veterans who are declining daily and the yearly cost for post-9/11 veterans currently sits at approximately 130 billion in direct federal spending with is projected to reach a total amount of $2.2 trillion to $2.5 trillion by 2050 !……Yes so if 4 out of 10 veterans during the post 9/11 war collect disability payments and medical what will be the number for this Iran Trump MAGA flex of muscle and testosterone ? Only 2 out of 10 Americans approve of this escapade! I’m still waiting to see what we gained to be involved in any of them ! So what was it good for other than some company’s made big money in supplying the material to fight!……
I don’t doubt for a second 4 out of 10 sailors on that carrier will have traumatic STPD issues from extended deployment and then add in all the folks who were traumatized by the 10’s os thousands of missles fired and explosions they heard ? And let’s not forget the ice agents who will be released when the nation returns to normal times….Them Ice agents will be workmen comping by the thousands with there recordable injuries “ physical or psychological “that I’m sure they reported!….It all adds up!
The added cost of the Israeli Iran war to America’s debt total ?
Not gonna lie - I think it is by design - I refuse to believe that the main objective isn’t just to enrich themselves as much as possible before you go down as a country - like none in the admin by now could have told him that tariffs are paid by you guys - a war is started right after he has proposed 500 billion more a year for the military - that has basically made it their thing to fail audits - your country earn money when oil prices go up - give me a break ! If these are by mistake - it is beyond insane
Center for American progress estimates Iran war costs estimated $113 billion dollars over 108 days for direct military spending. Long term costs could reach $1 trillion for veterans care, base repairs and replacement of munitions over next decade. Meanwhile Trump administration and republican congress appear incapable of ending unpopular, illegal and unnecessary war.
@thirdperson
That 113 billion is peanuts! Look at the legacy cost over 20 years plus interest! We haven’t belonged in a war for the past 65 years. If the united nations “ America “ stuck Israel up the Middle East ass like they did because nobody wanted them to come to there country and burrow in there would have been a different landscape with world powers and the Arab nations! Think about it! To this day Airpac money inflected American politics to the point of making the Koch brothers look like a pack lemonade dealers! Israel’s money controls America’s destiny!
