Rough math: around $8-10 trillion of today's $34.5T national debt stems from post-9/11 wars alone—Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, etc.—when you count direct DOD outlays, VA care, homeland-security bloat, and the interest on all that borrowed war money. Toss in Korea, Vietnam, and the standing Cold-War military-industrial overhead and you're well over half the total debt. Every bomb dropped overseas is a Treasury IOU your grandchildren get to service. -(ai)
