Report: Cost of Post-9/11 Wars To Taxpayers $23K Apiece

Military.com 14 Nov 2017 By Richard Sisk

A university study of the costs of the post-9/11 wars has put the total at $5.6 trillion, which translates as $23,386 for each taxpayer.

The $5.6 million estimate of the costs from 9/11 through Fiscal Year 2018 was more than triple the Pentagon's estimate of $1.5 trillion, which would work out to $7,740 for each taxpayer, according to the ongoing "Costs of War" project of the Watson Institute of International and Public Affairs at Brown University.
