HOW DEATH OUTLIVES WAR – The Reverberating Impact of the Post-9/11 Wars on Human Health

(May 15, 2023)

The total death toll in the post-9/11 war zones of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen could be at least 4.5-4.6 million and counting, though the precise mortality figure remains unknown. Some of these people were killed in the fighting, but far more, especially children, have been killed by the reverberating effects of war, such as the spread of disease. These latter indirect deaths – estimated at 3.6-3.7 million – and related health problems have resulted from the post-9/11 wars’ destruction of economies, public services, and the environment. Indirect deaths grow in scale over time.

The human toll of America‘s wars

(10.01.2020)

The human toll of America‘s wars and interventionist policies in the Middle East is staggering. 801,000 people have died in that region since September 11th, 2001, according to Brown University‘s Cost of War Project. The Host of MSNBC‘s „All In“ Chris Hayes, Investigative Journalist and New York Times Magazine Contributor Azmat Khan, and author Zainab Salbi join Katy Tur to discuss.

Study: US Has Spent $5.9 Trillion on Wars Since 2001

This is, of course, vastly higher than official figures, owing to the Pentagon trying to oversimplify the costs into simply overseas contingency operations. It is only when one considers the cost of medical and disability care for soldiers, and future such costs, along with things like the interest on the extra money borrowed for the wars, that the true cost becomes clear.

Studie: USA haben seit 2001 5,9 Billionen Dollar für Kriege ausgegeben

Dieser Betrag liegt natürlich weitaus höher als die offiziellen Zahlen, da das Pentagon versucht, die Kosten auf einfache Überseeoperationen zu reduzieren. Erst wenn man die Kosten der medizinischen und behindertengerechten Versorgung von Soldaten und deren zukünftige Kosten sowie Dinge wie die Zinsen auf das für die Kriege geliehene zusätzliche Geld berücksichtigt, werden die wahren Kosten deutlich.
