More on The Price Paid for The War on Terror

An earlier post provided an estimate of the financial cost of our response to 9/11. It did not mention the costs to innocent civilians in the Mid-East who we callously refer to as "collateral damage". It also did not discuss the ongoing costs that we will incur as opportunity cost or the cost to our troops who gave their lives and to some who will never recover from their experience. War is hell, but it is also an opportunity for leaders, and for many of us to do chest bumps. We would be better off if we confined our chest bumps to athletics.
