Military adventure without goals

American citizens at large generally do not care about this war. That is a failure of every single administration, including the present one. Until you get the American people behind this war, it will never be resolved. We are BROKE. There was no mention in this article about the $1 trillion dollars that this war has added to the national debt. There was no mention about the casualties, both American and civilian. There was no mention about how we plan on funding this continuing adventure or what it will cost. If we truly believe in this war, then SACRIFICE is necessary: double taxes for everyone until we pay for everything. At some point the bill will be due and we will be caught with a crushing debt that will send us into spiraling inflation or worse.

I agreed with much of the logic in this piece, but sugar coating by not mentioning the price is dishonest.
