The Military Industrial Complex Price per Kill

I did some light number crunching and found that our current undeclared wars are expensive! But, isn’t that the point, if you are the one making a killing off of it.

Earlier today I pulled the cost of the Iraq and Afghanistan war from http://costofwar.com/. It turns out we have spent as of 9:32 PM, a combined $1,083,874,160,943 on the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

So what did we buy? We bought 1,739,547 casualties, both ours and theirs. http://www.unknownnews.net/casualties.html

It means we paid $623,078.40 per casualty. I don’t mean to be callous. But, wow! Could the military complex make it any more expensive to kill someone?

I could think of some better uses for that money.

Our founding fathers didn’t trust government. Can you guess why?
