Episode Notes

The world is back at war and the TFG crew discusses how we feel about the news. 

For context, the global economic impact of violence is estimated to be $14.4 trillion. The U.S. federal price tag for the post-9/11 wars is over $8 trillion. There is a true cost of war. It's both financial, emotional and moral. This can ultimately change you at your core.

 

The U.S. has several budgetary costs for post-9/11 wars, including:

 

The U.S. government is conducting counterterror activities in 85 countries. At least four times as many active duty personnel and war veterans of post-9/11 conflicts have died of suicide than in combat. The Wars will cost Americans between $3.2 and $4 trillion, including medical care and disability for current and future war veterans.
