New Report Says America's 20-Year War On Terror Has killed 929,000 People And Cost Over $8 Trillion

Business Insider: America's 20-year war on terror has killed up to 929,000 people and cost over $8 trillion: report  

* America's global war on terror has a pricetag of $8 trillion, according to a new Costs of War report. 

* Costs of War also puts the number of people directly killed by the war at up to 929,000, including at least 387,072 civilians. 

* "Twenty years from now, we'll still be reckoning with the high societal costs of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars," a co-director of the project said. 

The price-tag of America's global war on terror is estimated to stand at roughly $8 trillion, according to a new report from Brown University's Costs of War project. 

The estimate factors in "future costs for veteran's care, the total budgetary costs and future obligations of the post-9/11 wars." 

The report attributes $2.3 trillion to the Afghanistan and Pakistan war zone, $2.1 trillion to the Iraq and Syria war zone, and $355 billion to other war zones.
