The Human and Financial Toll of US Wars

Just read a breakdown of 76 years of US wars. The human cost is staggering: millions of civilians and tens of thousands of military personnel killed since the 1950s. A veteran's quote hit hard: 'War is not clean, and the people who bear the longest burden are rarely the ones who made the decisions.' The financial figures are mind-blowing too-the recent Iran war cost $11.3bn on munitions in just the first six days. At home, Americans are feeling the pinch with rising gas and healthcare costs, questioning the priorities. A sobering reminder of war's true, far-reaching price. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/4/28/the-cost-of-76-years-of-us-wars-from-korea-to-iran
