Can anyone give a ballpark figure in dollars on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan until now?

What ever the amount,don't you think it would have been better to use it here to lower our debt?

    Don't tell Obama, he's busy starting new wars in Pakistan, China, Libya, and Syria.

    The US Government has. $3.7 trillion dollars and climbing. 40% of that cost has occurred during the Obama administration including his increase in troop strength in Afghanistan. 60% occurred during the two Bush administrations.

    It would have been better if we never invaded Iraq, if handled properly, we could have been out of Afghanistan a long time ago.
