- jhayward 9y agoUnfortunately these numbers omit the 3 trillion dollars spent in war in the middle east and Afghanistan, none of which would have occurred were it not for US military and covert efforts to secure oil resources in that area. Just adding in the cost of running the US 5th fleet would arguably be a good start.
