[lbo-talk] The $3 Trillion Dollar War -- Stiglitz & Bilmes Were Too Modest

[michael perelman]

One of the greatest uncounted US losses in our wars in Iraq and 
Afghanistan has been the mental damage to the young people who have been 
exposed to the violence and brutality of our war.  The recent Wikileaks 
release of the young people killing Iraqis as if they were playing video 
games is a case in point.

The number of suicides offers additional evidence.
