2. "That's the cost of war"

Patrick Murphy nailed it and is something I've said frequently as well. For many in Congress, the pundit class, and the military-industrial complex the cost of war consists of the machines and the weapons and the men and women who go to fight. It doesn't seem to include, in their minds, the impact of the war on the individuals who fight, on their families, and on society. War is not only hell, but it is expensive, not only during active conflicts, but for many years and decades after.
