How Much Will This War Cost US?

A very enlightening post from Open Mind Dave today about the Christian sources for peacemaking and some shocking statistics about the human costs of the war in Iraq. Here is some information about what the war is costing in dollars and cents.

I care about that and I also care about the human costs of war. It is Unacceptable that a veteran should ever be homeless. There is a problem when there are 120 veterans killing themselves every week.

The war in Iraq is bad foreign policy, it is bad fiscal policy and it is taking a terrible toll on the brave men and women who signed up and honorably served this country. The candidate who wants my vote going forward is going to have to address these issues. It is not enough to talk about ending the war, which we should do. We also have to act in the best interest of the amazing young men and women who have given life and limb to support our country.

If you really support our troops feed, house and care for them at the end of their tours of duty!
