On today’s Your Call, we’ll mark the 10-year anniversary by talking about the costs of war. According to new research from the Watson Institute for International Studies, with future health and disability benefits for veterans and interest accrued, the real cost of the war could add up to $6 trillion dollars over the next four decades. How was this war funded and where’s the conversation about these astronomical costs? It’s Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.
