Invading Iraq cost the US $2 trillion directly. That’s nearly $9,000 for each taxpayer in the US. However, the Iraq War cannot be divorced from the Afghan War, the larger Global War on Terror or this century’s militarism, which has seen Pentagon spending balloon from $331 billion in 2001 to $858 billion today. Including future veterans’ care and interest payments, the long-term cost of these conflicts will total $8 trillion by 2050.
