US cost of wars since 9/11 will exceed US cost of WWII

Insane: "The total cost to America of its wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, plus the related military operations in Pakistan, is set to exceed $4 trillion – more than three times the sum so far authorised by Congress in the decade since the 9/11 attacks.

...If the Brown study is correct, the wars that flowed from 9/11 will not only have been the longest in US history. At $4 trillion and counting, their combined cost is approaching that of the Second World War, put at some $4.1 trillion in today's prices by the Congressional Budget Office."

But will the Taliban stop killing 8 year old girls if the US leaves?

In effect, Iraq has had a Marshall Plan as well as a war. You would have to factor in all the aid as well as the actual military cost.
