Originally we were told the cost of the war would be around $75 billion based on, if I'm not mistaken, about 1 month of combat. It now appears pretty certain that it will take a good deal more time than that. I believe I heard it costs about $1 billion per day for the way in addition to other fixed costs. When all is said and done, how much will the costs of the war drain from Treasury (i.e. you and me)? My odds are in parentheses
The most hideous statistic I ever saw in a war campaign was at the Kyber Pass, Bush was very cautious in Afganistan for good reason but
it looks like Obama's surge in the Afgan is fine with the radical lefties.
On January 13, 1842, a British army doctor reaches the British sentry post at Jalalabad, Afghanistan, the lone survivor of a 16,000-strong Anglo-Indian expeditionary force that was massacred in its retreat from Kabul. He told of a terrible massacre in the Khyber Pass, in which the Afghans gave the defeated Anglo-Indian force and their camp followers no quarter.
Afganistan voiced a British Viceroy after the disaster is a "poisened chalice"
It is pretty easy to get into Afganistan but very hard to get out.

I'm just pointing out the VA and all it's programs are there already.
You act like we have to provide something "new".
Extra cost...I'll give you that...does it really make a difference?
Not so much.
I'm not sure the cost of the war is an incremental cost. Many expenses might still be incurred in peacetime, like wages, benefits, meals and stuff.
Although I'm not certain how they keep their books. Of course, I doubt anybody knows how they keep their books.
