The Cost of War

I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)

The cost of war in Iraq (for the US) is $436 billion and rising. I am curious to know how this cost is calculated. How is the price of a loved one’s death calculated? Is this “price” baked in to this “cost of war”? More than 3800 Coalition troops and anywhere from 65,000 to 70,000 Iraqis have lost their lives in this war. You know when it really hits you? When you put a face to the number
