而消費為軍事行動在9/11以後超出了它,伊拉克戰爭的總成本接近越南戰爭的費用,國會報告估計。

新的報告由國會調研機構估計美國。 在伊拉克戰爭操作上花費了$648十億,投入它在範圍與$686十億,在2008美元,花在越南戰爭上,次要場昂貴的戰爭在第二次世界大戰之後。 從9月。 11日2001年,恐怖分子攻擊,美國。 發放了差不多$860十億為軍事行動在阿富汗,伊拉克和在別處在世界範圍內。

所有估計,調整為通貨膨脹,根據軍事行動的費用在與戰爭相關的債務,并且不包括費用為退伍軍人好處,興趣或協助根據無黨派CRS打仗盟友。

報告底線怎麼價牌為戰爭在伊拉克逐漸上升,在2003年3月開始。 在2002年末期,然後白色議院預算主任Daniels估計伊拉克戰爭的Mitch會花費$50十億到$60十億。 一年後, L。 保羅Bremer,美國的然後院長。 職業政府在伊拉克,認為戰爭將花費$100十億。

伊拉克戰爭比其他昂貴的衝突消耗了無足輕重國家的國民生產總值。 伊拉克戰爭的費用在戰爭的高峰年代表了國民生產總值的1%。 第二次世界大戰,與$4.1兆價牌以2008美元,是幾乎國民生產總值的36%,并且越南戰爭是國民生產總值的2.3%由於打仗』高峰年。

報告認為戰爭費用比較在上百年「是固有地疑難的」由於戰爭費用的變化的定義。 例如,報告的形象為越南戰爭比常設軍事力量的正常,每日費用是軍事行動的邊際成本-戰爭活動的費用的防禦部門估計更多。 費用為崗位9/11軍事行動從國會被合適的數額和防禦部門報告估計。

CRS報告警告費用比較在通貨膨脹被調整的價格是「非常概略的鍛煉」。

“It is difficult to know what it really means to compare costs of the American Revolution to costs of military operations in Iraq when, 230 years ago, the most sophisticated weaponry was a 36-gun frigate that is hardly comparable to a modern $3.5 billion destroyer,” researchers wrote.

Here are the report’s estimated costs of major wars, in 2008 dollars, and their costs as a percentage of GDP in each of their peak years:

_American Revolution: $1.8 billion; GDP figure not available

_War of 1812: $1.2 billion; 2.2 percent
