Usa Battle

So far, the Iraq war cost America more than 2 trln. dollars and that amount is growing every day. Separate discussion is needed to understand how big is that number. In this article, however, we will try to break these costs, by its nature and origin:

Human costs.
The reason for start of these costs is quite simple. The human losses are irretrievable and can never monetized. To date the article was written, the war in Iraq cost the lives of 4323 U.S. soldiers. Number of wounded in action or wounded in combat zone accidents reached 31,368. Given the frequency of the battles that U.S. troops are exposed to this figure is obviously not the end. Moreover, the number of data are taken from official statistics by the Pentagon, which is widely criticized by the public for the victims real understatement. According to the Department of Veterans Affairs – a government department independent of the Pentagon – the number of wounded has exceeded 50,000.

The costs of combat operations.
To date, 686 billion U.S. dollars of dollars have been allocated to the Iraq war since its beginning in March 2003 to cover daily cash costs of running the combat operations, food, housing, transportation and equipment for troops U.S. payment of the costs of rebuilding, repair and spare parts and training Iraqi forces. The number continues to grow by $ 200,000,000! every day so when you finish reading this article will increase by about half a million dollars! This trend is not affected by major changes, at least end of 2009 as total spending has been approved in the 2009 budget. Given that Obama has already announced the withdrawal and eventual reduction of U.S. troops from Iraq, we can estimate around 130 euros. more than passing on the condition that all troops be withdrawn within a 1.5-2 years. That gives a total of 816 mln. dollars in direct costs spent on the war in Iraq. This also includes payment of $ 500,000 in the "Payment of death gratuity and life insurance for families of victims deaths in Iraq.

The health care costs.
These include all costs for treating health problems of the troops as blast injuries arms and legs from improvised explosive devices, the examples historically high traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder. A group of prominent physicians predicted that healthcare for Iraq veterans could be up to $ 650 billion. We can also rely on the figures available for veterans' disability payments. For example, a veteran without a spouse or dependent who is 100 percent disabled receives about $ 2,400 per month by the government. More than 50 years, rising to over U.S. $ 1.4 million. Multiplying this by the number of totally disabled veterans joined U.S. $ 10-15 billion more. Moreover, a growing number of soldiers do not seek the care they need, which affects their ability to get jobs and maintain which eventually leads invisible to higher costs.

The replacement cost defense.
War in Iraq has pushed the U.S. military dangerously thin. The high number of low more than half of the decade has undermined the "human capital" of the armed forces. To address the current difficulties in recruiting U.S. will to invest heavily in the troops to restore its prewar levels of strength, fitness and preparation. Also you can take more than a decade to replace and fully repair the soldiers, whose equipment and materials have been largely depleted by the war. Estimates show that during the period of fifteen years, the military will require 250 $ -375 $ BLN to rebuild the entire military.

The economic costs.
There are a lot of economic costs over the war in Iraq. First is a deployment in Iraq cost 40% of National Guard and Reserve forces. Quantifiable economic costs of that consists of the difference between civilian salaries these people make in their usual occupations and low wages generally paid in the Reserves. Another economic cost is the cost of deaths military. This is equal to individual income and contributions to the economy forgone because of his death. Here also comes the economic cost of the wounded severe, consisting of more health care costs that parties spend beyond what the government pays and the loss of economic services. With gallstones Stiglitz made by him in 2006 and extrapolated the figures to this day we will get about 200 mln U.S. dollars that the economic costs due the war in Iraq.

Excluding costs.
Now we will try to list the costs that are obvious but not quantifiable. Consider the issue of security. War in Iraq and the way to the general instability in the Middle East has exacerbated the hatred of the United States throughout the world. That in turn aggravates the domestic threat of terror and in fact Americans obviously less secure and confident. Of course there are many negative consequences of the war, all of which can not be understood. Below is a list of costs omitted from the previous estimates:
* All costs borne by other countries, including Iraq.
* The costs of war planning.
* The costs of volatility of oil prices.
* Consequences of the loss of credibility
* Reduction of demands as a result of anti-Americanism (eg loss of tourists)
