Also looming along with the strategic implications of the global economy abandoning the dollar in favor of the Euro, etc. the true cost of Operation Iraqi Adventure is far greater than direct outlays. The service lifetime of the U.S. military hardware shortened greatly because of combat deployment. These platforms will require replacement in a remarkable close time frame. It is bordering on lunacy to think even in a normal economic environment that even most of the alleged new mission critical (transformational or not) can be funded. The actual cost in today’s dollar is staggering. In a stagflationary situation. Simply ain’t gonna happen.
