The Dollar cost to date of the two wars is $2 trillion with the future cost estimated at $4 trillion:
"The biggest ongoing expense will be providing medical care and disability benefits to veterans of the two conflicts."
Only because most of this generation can no longer comprehend basic math are these above ludicrous costs scarcely questioned. Roughly 6,800 Americans die every day of all causes - a significant number because proper food and healthcare is deemed "unaffordable". Dick Cheney recently accused Obama of favoring foodstamps over military equipment. Roughly 30,000 children die globally every day for lack of a few dollars worth of food and medicine. That's ten 9/11s every day. There's no flag ceremony for that apocalypse.
When the world's most powerful nation showed that it was willing to bankrupt itself and throw a generation of young people under the bus so that aging Neocons, most of whom avoided war like the plague, could make up for Vietnam, then the greatest loss of all, was fear and respect.
Those are the very two things that no world power can ever put at risk.
ISIS is the 9/11 Frankenmonster: Al Qaeda on steroids
The lies never end: "We can defeat ISIS"
No you can't. "We" created ISIS. All you can do is waste more money and human lives and create more havoc just to fool Depends-wearing Fauxtards into believing that they are "safe":
If Neocons and their children had to go to war, there would be no war
"The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. ... The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects and its object is not the victory, but to keep the very structure of society intact."
[George Orwell, "1984"]
