    The Cost of America's Wars Is Far Higher Than the Pentagon Admits

    The cost of America's involvement in war has been high. According to a new 2019 research, the US wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and Pakistan cost taxpayers $6.4 trillion from 2001 to 2019. The report's major result is that the entire budgetary burden of the post-9/11 conflicts will continue to rise as long as the US government is committed to interest payments and financing growing veteran care costs.
