The Iraq war has cost the United States approximately $2 trillion. Although in humanitarian and geopolitical terms it is considered to have been a huge failure, for the military industrial complex it was a huge success.

The Iraq War was a Success, NOT a failure. The USA & it's allied removed a war mongering murderer from power, prevented his Aran Nazi Ba'ath Party and his criminal family (rapists, war criminals, torturers) from retaking power, and stopped Al-Qaeda & ISIL from taking over.

The Funding to the military has gone up by 2/3 in the last 4 years? ISIS was crushed In 1 year under this Administration. It was growing and spreading like cancer Under Obama. I can't stand Trump but our military has done their job and anyone that says otherwise. Is a moron!

Some day the US will export healthcare instead of war..... I work in military healthcare and I see the best future for the US and for the US military as the day when we have more doctors / nurses sent around the world than we do soldiers. That's my dream.
